Right Answer is: D

SOLUTION

Types of the plane: There are two types of planes used in engineering drawing:

  1. Perpendicular planes
  2. Oblique planes

Perpendicular planes: The planes which are perpendicular to one or both the reference planes i.e. H.P. and V.P. are called perpendicular planes. These planes can be:

I. A plane perpendicular to the H.P. and parallel to the V.P.

II. A plane perpendicular to the V.P. and parallel to the H.P.

III. A plane perpendicular to both the reference planes i.e. H.P. and V.P.

IV. A plane perpendicular to the H.P. and inclined to the V.P. These planes are called auxiliary vertical planes (A.V.P.).

V. A plane perpendicular to the V.P. and inclined to the H.P. These planes are called auxiliary inclined planes (A.I.P.).

Oblique Planes: The planes which are inclined to both the reference planes i.e. H.P. and V.P. are called oblique planes.
