KOM: Unit 1: MECHANISMS: Ob Jective Questions From Gate With Solutions

1. The document contains 20 multiple choice questions related to kinematics of machines. The questions are about topics like kinematic pairs, degrees of freedom, Grubler's criterion, and types of mechanisms. 2. Sample questions include identifying the number of degrees of freedom of different linkages, matching kinematic terms with their definitions, and selecting the correct type of mechanism for a given application. 3. The questions have single correct answers that can be identified by understanding kinematic concepts and applying analysis methods like Grubler's criterion to linkage structures.
