Question 1
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 50%
Involute profile is preferred to cyloidal because
the profile is easy to cut
only one curve is required to cut
the rack has straight line profile and hence can be cut accurately
none of the mentioned
Explanation:
The face and flank of involute teeth are generated by a single curve where as in cycloidal
Question 2

Pass Ratio : 33%
The radial distance of a tooth from the pitch circle to the bottom of the tooth, is called
dedendum
addendum
clearance
working depth
Explanation:
Addendum is the radial distance of a tooth from the pitch circle to the top of the tooth.
Question 3

Pass Ratio : 100%
When the addenda on pinion and wheel is such that the path of approach and path of recess are half of their maximum possible values, then the length of the path of contact is given by
(r + R) sin φ/2
(r + R) cos φ/2
(r + R) tan φ/2
(r + R) cot φ/2
Explanation:
In case the addenda on pinion and wheel is such that the path of approach and path of recess are half of their maximum possible values, then
Question 4

Pass Ratio : 100%
For a speed ratio of 100, smallest gear box is obtained by using
a pair of spur gears
a pair of helical and a pair of spur gear compounded
a pair of bevel and a pair of spur gear compounded
a pair of helical and a pair of worm gear compounded
Explanation:
None.
Question 5

Pass Ratio : 100%
If the module of a gear be m, the number of teeth T and pitch circle diameter D, then
m = D/T
D = T/m
m = D/2T
none of the mentioned
Explanation:
Module, m = D /T.
Question 6

Pass Ratio : 33%
The product of the diametral pitch and circular pitch is equal to
1
1/Ï€
Ï€
2Ï€
Explanation:
Diametral pitch, pd = T/D = π/pc
Question 7
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
The module is the reciprocal of
diametral pitch
circular pitch
pitch diameter
none of the mentioned
Explanation:
It is the ratio of the pitch circle diameter in millimeters to the number of teeth.
Question 8
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 20%
The size of a gear is usually specified by
pressure angle
circular pitch
diametral pitch
pitch circle diameter
Explanation:
Pitch circle diameter is the diameter of the pitch circle. The size of the gear is usually specified by the pitch circle diameter. It is also known as pitch diameter.
Question 9
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 50%
Mitre gears are used for
great speed reduction
equal speed
minimum axial thrust
minimum backlash
Explanation:
When equal bevel gears (having equal teeth) connect two shafts whose axes are mutually perpendicular, then the bevel gears are known as mitres.
Question 10
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 50%
The type of gears used to connect two non-parallel non-intersecting shafts are
spur gears
helical gears
spiral gears
none of the mentioned
Explanation:
The two non-intersecting and non-parallel i.e. non-coplanar shaft connected by gears. These gears are called skew bevel gears or spiral gears and the arrangement is known as skew bevel gearing or spiral gearing. This type of gearing also have a line contact, the rotation of which about the axes generates the two pitch surfaces known as hyperboloids.
