4. Point A is 25 mm above HP and 20 mm in front of VP. Front view is inclined at 300 to XY line and measures 65
mm. Point B is in third quadrant. Plan of the line is 450 to the XY line. Draw the projections of the line (FV, TV
and side View.)

5. Mid point of the projections of the line is in HP and VP. Distance between the projectors is 70 mm. The line is
in two quadrants. FV and TV measures 100 mm and 120 mm respectively. Draw FV, TV and left side view.

6. Line AB has its ends A 10 mm from VP and 20 mm from HP. Point B is 55 mm from VP and 50 mm from HP.
Distance between end projectors is 50 mm. Draw the front view, top view and L.side view of the line assuming
the line to be in first quadrant.
