Directions :

Each of the following four (41 items consists of two statements, one labelled as 'Assertion (A]' and the other as 'Reason (R]'. You are to examine these two statements carefully and select the answers to these items using the code given bdow :

Code:

(a) Both A and R are individually true and R is the correct explanation of A

(b} Both A and R are individually true but R is rtDt the correct explanation of A

(c} A is true but R is false

(d) A is false but R is true

117. Assertion (A)

Mohr's construction is possible for stresses, strains and area moment of inertia..

Reason (R)

Mohr's circle transformation tensor.

118. Assertion (A) :

represents the of second-order

Gears produced by employing form-cutting principle using

Reason (R) :

Production of the correct gear tooth profile employing form­cutting principle would require a separate cutter for cutting different numbers of teeth even for the same module and also errors are associated with inaccurate operation of indexing mechanism.

119. Assertion (A) :

Moving avemge method of forecasting demand gives an account of the trends m fluctuations and suppresses day­to-day insignificant fluctuations.

Reason (R)

Working out moving averages of the demand data smoothens the random day-to-day fluctuations and represents only significant variations.

120. Assertion (A)

Assembly line balancing increases productivity.

Reason (R) :

gear-milling cutter on a milling Assembly line balancing reduces machine are not very accurate. in-process inventory.
