Right Answer is: B

SOLUTION

Explanation:

Isometric projection is a type of pictorial projection in which the dimensions along the three axes of the solid are shown in one view and in true size. 

Orthographic projection:

  • The projection or view obtained on a plane of projection when the projectors are parallel to each other but perpendicular to the plane of projection is known as orthographic projection.
  • The following two types of orthographic projection are used in engineering practice: (1) First Angle Projection  (2) Third Angle Projection 
  • The front view reveals the two dimensions, namely the length and the height of an object.
  • The top view reveals the length and the other dimension (i.e., the width of the object).
  • The side view reveals the height/depth and the width of the object (i.e., the length of the object). 
  • Thus the orthographic view represents the projection of an object by three views.
