Ans. A
Sol. To draw the drawing of a multistories
building, reduction scales should be used.
Reducing scales are mentioned in the 1 : Y,
where Y > 1. Hence, RF < 1. Other objects
that used RF < 1 are bridges, huge
machinery, ships, aeroplanes etc. Hence
statement I is correct Length of scale,
LOS = RF × minimum distance to be
represented. Hence statement II is false.
A plain scale is used to indicate the
distances in a unit and its immediate
subdivision, whereas a vernier scale and
diagonal scale indicate the distances in a
unit and its immediate two subdivion. Hence
statement III is false.
22. Which of the following statements are

A. Only I B. II and III
C. I and III D. All of above
Ans. A
Sol. A diagonal scale is based on the similarity of
triangles. Hence statement I is true.
A vernier scale is a backward vernier scales
if VSD > MSD and its least count is given by
LC = VSD – MSD. Hence statement II is
false.
All the divisions on the base of a scale of
chords are not equal but decreases
