14. The accuracy of the drawing depends on the
quality of the instruments used.
a) True
b) False
• Answer: a
• Explanation: Drawing instruments play a vital
(महत्वपूर्)ण role in the quality of the drawing.
Factors such as accuracy (शुद्धता), precision
(शद्
ु धता), correctness, etc depend on the quality of
the said instruments. There are many drawing
instruments which help in increasing the accuracy
of the drawing.
15. Which of the following instrument is made of thin
strips of wood arranged in a line to form a rectangle
and on which, the drawing is made?
a) Mini – drafter
b) Drawing Board
c) Protractor (चॉन्दा)
d) Scale
• Answer: b
• Explanation: The drawing board is made up of thin
sheets of seasoned soft wood, arranged in a line so
as to form a rectangle. Then it is fitted with two
battens on the respective parallel sides of the
board. The battens are attached with the help of
screws.
16. Which of the following tools is used to draw
horizontal lines?
a) Mini – drafter
b) Protractor
c) T – square
d) French curve
• Answer: c
• Explanation: T – squares are made up of hard wood,
plastics, etc. It consists of two parts; stock and
blade. The stock slides on the drawing board and
the horizontal lines are drawn from the working
edge on the side of the blade. The angle between
the stock and the blade is 90˚.
17. Which of the following instrument can be used to
draw accurate perpendicular lines, parallel lines and
angular lines?
a) Mini – drafter
b) T – square
c) Protractor
d) Set square
• Answer: a
• Explanation: Mini – drafters are used to draw
perpendicular lines, parallel lines and angular lines.
They consist of blades, protractor head, double bar
link mechanism, screw and clamp. The blades have
markings corresponding to the engineering scale.
18. According to the Indian Standard Institute (ISI), which among
the following designation has the size 1000 x 700 (in mm)?
a) B0
b) B1
c) B2
d) B3
• Answer: b
• Explanation: Generally drawing board has dimensions of
B0 board :- 1500 x 1000x 25 mm (for A0 drawing sheet)
B1 board :- 1000 x 700x 25 mm (for A1 drawing sheet)
B2 board :- 700 x 500x 15 mm (for A2 drawing sheet)
B3 board :- 500 x 350x 15 mm (for A3 drawing sheet)
These designations denote the dimensions of the drawing
boards. Standard dimensions are used to simplify the
production process.
19. Which is the most common tool used for drawing
circles?
a) French curve
b) Mini – drafter
c) Divider (ववभाजक)
d) Compass (परकार)
• Answer: d
• Explanation:
Compass is used to draw circles. Its design is similar to
the divider, except in compass there is a provision for
the attachment of pencil or lead in one of the legs of
the compass. The divider is used to measure and repeat
the dimensions when they are repeated.
20. For drawing circles with large radius, which of the
following tool is used?
a) Bow compass
b) Lengthening bar compass
c) Divider
d) Protractors
• Answer: b
• Explanation: In lengthening bar compass, there is a
provision for increasing the radius of the circle
greater than the total open length of the compass.
This helps in drawing very large circles with the help
of medium sized compasses.
21. Which of the following drawing tools is used by
architects for making blueprints?
a) Drawing Pencils
b) Dusters
c) Ink Pen
d) Erasers
• Answer: c
• Explanation: Ink Pen is used to draw the blueprints by
architects and draftsmen. They are used to draw lines
onto the tracing paper. They are used for making the
final drafts of the drawing made in pencil. Drawing
pencils have generally leads which drawn on paper can
be erased. This does not happen with the ink pen.
22. Which of the following drawing tool is not used to set
the drawing sheet onto the drawing board?
a) Drawing clips
b) Drawing pins
c) Divider
d) Adhesive Tape
• Answer: c
• Explanation:
Divider is a drawing tool used to replicate (दोहराना) the
dimensions when the dimensions are repeated.
Drawing clips, drawing pins and adhesive tapes are
used to attach the drawing sheet onto the drawing
board. These attachments are temporary attachments
and can be removed after the drawing is completed.
23. According to the Indian Standard institution (ISI)
what is the size of the designation A3 in mm?
a) 420 x 297
b) 841 x 594
c) 1189 x 841
d) 297 x 210
• Answer: a
• Explanation: The size of the designation A3 in mm is
420 x 297. The designations A0, A1, A2, A4 and A5
have sizes 1189 x 841 mm, 841 x 594 mm, 594 x 420
mm, 297 x 210 mm and 210 x 148 mm respectively.
Standardizing helps in uniformity of the products all
over the nation and will avoid local variations.
24. Which of the following drawing tool is used to transfer
dimensions when there is a repetition of the
dimensions?
a) Compass
b) Protractor
c) Divider
d) Mini – Drafter
• Answer: c
• Explanation:
Divider is used to transfer dimensions when there is a
repetition of the dimensions. It is the faster method
than using a scale and then marking the dimension
again. Protractors are only used to mark angles and
compass is used to draw circles.
25. Which of the following grades of leads is the hardest?
a) 6B
b) 5H
c) 4B
d) 6H
• Answer: d
• Explanation: 6H is the hardest grade of lead. The
softest grade is 6B. HB is the medium soft grade.
Generally for educational purposes, 2HB pencils are
used to make drawings. B is soft and H is medium hard.
As the prefix number increases, the softness increases
in B and the hardness increases in case of H.
26. For marking angles, which of the following
drawing tool is used?
a) Protractor
b) Divider
c) Compass
d) French curve
• Answer: a
• Explanation: Protractors are used to mark angles
from 0˚ to 180˚. There are markings on the
semicircular area of the protractor. The least count
of protractor for educational purpose is 1˚. The
accuracy of marking angles is highest in protractor.
27. Using 30˚ – 60˚ – 90˚ and 45˚ – 45˚ – 90˚ set squares,
which of the following angle is not possible to draw?
a) 45˚
b) 30˚
c) 10˚
d) 90˚
• Answer: c
• Explanation: Using proper combination of both the set
squares, one can draw multiple angles with 30˚ angle
minimum. If T-square and mini-drafter also used, the
minimum accurate angle that we can draw is 15˚. Set
squares are generally used to draw vertical and inclined
lines.
28. Which is the instrument used to draw parallel lines
fast?
a) Set square
b) Ruler scale
c) Protractor
d) Roll-n-draw
• Answer: d
• Explanation: Using roll-n-draw scales, we can draw
parallel lines very accurately and fast. They are used to
draw parallel lines in horizontal direction, vertical
direction and also in inclined planes. General
dimension of the roll-n-draw scale is 30 cm and 15 cm.
The scale is rolled on the paper to achieve parallel lines.
