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

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 3
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 4
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 5
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 33%
The two parallel and coplanar shafts are connected by gears having teeth parallel to the axis of the shaft. This arrangement is called
spur gearing
helical gearing
bevel gearing
spiral gearing
Explanation:
The two parallel and co-planar shafts connected by the gears. These gears are called spur gears and the arrangement is known as spur gearing. These gears have teeth parallel to the axis of the wheel as shown in Fig. 12.1. Another name given to the spur gearing is helical gearing, in which the teeth are inclined to the axis.
Question 6
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 25%
The condition of correct gearing is
pitch line velocities of teeth be same
radius of curvature of two profiles be same
common normal to the pitch surface cuts the line of centres at a fixed point
none of the mentioned
Explanation:
The fundamental condition of correct gearing is the common normal at the point of contact between a pair of teeth must always pass through the pitch point.
Question 7

Pass Ratio : 50%
The maximum length of arc of contact for two mating gears, in order to avoid interference, is
(r + R) sin φ
(r + R) cos φ
(r + R) tan φ
none of the mentioned
Explanation:
Interference may only be prevented, if the addendum circles of the two mating gears cut the
Question 8
Marks : +2 | -2
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 9
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 20%
Interference can be avoided in involute gears with 20° pressure angle by
cutting involute correctly
using as small number of teeth as possible
using more than 20 teeth
using more than 8 teeth
Explanation:
None.
Question 10
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 20%
The maximum efficiency for spiral gears is
sin (θ + φ ) + 1/ cos (θ − φ ) + 1
cos (θ − φ) + 1/sin (θ + φ ) + 1
cos (θ + φ ) + 1/ cos (θ − φ ) + 1
cos (θ − φ) + 1/cos (θ + φ ) + 1
Explanation:
ηmax = cos (θ + φ ) + 1/ cos (θ − φ ) + 1
