Answer ALL Questions

(5 x 20 = 100 Marks)

1. (a) A circle of 50 mm diameter rolls along a line. A point on the circumference of

the circle is in contact with the line in the beginning and after one complete
revolution. Draw the cycloidal path of the point. Draw a tangent and normal
at any point on the curve.

2. (a) A line AB, 90 mm long, is inclined at 45 to the H.P., and its top view makes
an angle of 60 with the V.P. The end A is in the H.P and 12 mm in front of
the V.P. Draw its front view and nd its true inclination with the V.P. (20)
OR

2. (b) A rectangular plate 70 40 mm has one of its shorter edges in the VP inclined
at 40 to the HP. Draw its top view, if its front view i s a square of side 40 mm.
(20)

3. (a) A pentagonal prism of edge of base 30 mm and axis 70 mm long rests with
one of its rectangular faces on HP and the ends inclined at 30 to VP. Draw
its projections.
(20)
OR

3. (b) Draw the projections of a hexagonal pyramid with side of the base 30 mm and
axis 70 mm long, when it is resting with one of the base sides on HP such
that the triangular face containing that side is perpendicular to HP and axis
is parallel to VP.

4. (a) A cone, diameter of base 60 mm and height 60 mm, is resting on H.P. on its
base. It is cut by a plane inclined to H.P at 30 and perpendicular to VP.
The cutting plane passes through one of the extreme generators at a height of
10 mm above the base. Draw the front view, sectional top view and the true
shape of the section.
(20)
OR

4. (b) A cone of base 60 mm and height 80 mm is resting with its base on HP. An
insect starts from a point on the circumference of the base, goes round the
solid and reaches the starting point in the shortest path. Find the distance
travelled by the insect and also the projections of the path followed by it. (20)
5. (a) Draw the isometric projection of a frustum of a hexagonal pyramid when it
i s resting on its base on the HP with two sides of the base parallel to the VP.
The side of base i s 20 mm and the top 8 mm. The height of the frustum is
55 mm.

5. (b) A rectangular prism of base 30 15 mm and height 40 mm rests on the ground

on one of its base ends with one of the lateral edges touching the PP and the
shortest edge of the base inclined at angle of 40 to the PP. The nearest vertical
edge is 15 mm to the left of the station point which is at a distance of 55 mm
in front of the PP and 30 mm above the ground. Draw the perspective view
of the prism.
