Which of the following statements is/are true about Functional Dimensions (F) in engineering drawing?
Statement 1: Functional Dimensions are essential to the function of the component or space. 
Statement 2: Functional Dimensions are typically shown without limits.
Statement 3: Functional Dimensions are only shown for reference purposes.

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

Only statement 1 is true

Let's analyze each statement about Functional Dimensions (F) in engineering drawings:

  • Statement 1: Functional Dimensions are essential to the function of the component or space. This statement is TRUE. Functional dimensions define the critical sizes that directly impact the part's performance or the space's usability. They are the dimensions that determine whether the component will work as intended. For example, the bore diameter of a cylinder or the distance between mounting holes are functional dimensions.
  • Statement 2: Functional Dimensions are typically shown without limits. This statement is FALSE. Functional dimensions, being critical, usually require tight tolerances. Therefore, they are shown *with* limits (e.g., ±0.1 mm) to ensure the part functions correctly within the specified range.
  • Statement 3: Functional Dimensions are only shown for reference purposes. This statement is FALSE. Functional dimensions are not merely for reference; they are fundamental to the part's functionality and must be precisely controlled during manufacturing.

Therefore, only Statement 1 is true.
