What is a key feature of single stroke lettering in technical drawings?

This question was previously asked in
RRB ALP 2025 CBT 2 Wiremen Question Paper (28-Jul-2026) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

Each character is made with one continuous stroke.

Single stroke lettering is a common technique used in technical drawings where each character is made with one continuous stroke. This ensures uniformity, speed, and clarity in drafting. Let's analyze the options to understand why this is the correct feature of single stroke lettering:

  1. Each character is outlined and then filled. - This option is incorrect because single stroke lettering does not involve outlining or filling characters. It focuses on drawing each character with a single stroke.
  2. Each character is made with one continuous stroke. - This is the correct option. In single stroke lettering, each character is completed with a single, unbroken stroke which is efficient and maintains consistency in technical drawings.
  3. Each character is made with several parallel lines. - This option is incorrect as it describes a method that would be used for shading or creating bold effects, not single stroke lettering.
  4. Each character is shaded after drawing. - Shading is not a feature of single stroke lettering. This technique is concerned with the initial drawing of characters, not additional effects like shading.

Therefore, the key feature of single stroke lettering is that "Each character is made with one continuous stroke." This technique is preferred in technical drawing for its simplicity and the ease with which it can be executed.
