What type of view is represented of the given machine component?

This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2024 Undergraduate CBT 1 Question Paper (29-Aug-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Orthographic view

The correct answer is Orthographic view.

The image shows a multi-view drawing, a common technique in engineering drawing. Let's analyze why it's an orthographic view and not the other options:

  • Orthographic Projection: This method projects the object's features onto a series of two-dimensional planes (usually top, front, and side views). The image clearly shows three such views, oriented at right angles to each other, providing a complete representation of the object's shape and dimensions. Each view is a direct, undistorted projection, showing the object as seen from a perpendicular direction.
  • Oblique Projection: In an oblique projection, one plane is shown parallel to the picture plane, while others are shown at an angle. This isn't the case in the given image.
  • Isometric Projection: Isometric views show three sides of an object at once, with all axes at 120-degree angles. The image doesn't conform to this angle representation.
  • Perspective Projection: Perspective views simulate how an object appears to the eye, incorporating depth and convergence of parallel lines. The image lacks this perspective effect—parallel lines remain parallel.

Therefore, based on the characteristics of the drawing presented, it is definitively an orthographic view.
