circular electrodes assuming effective resistance between electrodes as
100 ohm.
(A) 2.17 rpm, 600 joules
(B) 6.8 rpm, 6 joules
(C) 5.03 rpm, 600 joules
(D) 22 rpm, 600 joules
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Weld per min = (frequency × 60)/ (cycles for weld + interval cycles)
= (50 × 60)/ (3 + 2) = 600 welds/ min.
Work speed (mm / min) = (welds/ min) / weld required per mm
= 600 / (4/10) = 1500 mm/ min.
Therefore, RPM of electrode = work speed in mm per min/ π × electrode
diameter in mm
= 1500/ (3.14 × 220) = 2.17 rpm.
For 1.6 mm thick M.S. Plate, current requirement is around 10,000
amperes
Therefore, Energy required = I²RT = (10, 000²) × 100 × (3/ 50) = 600
Joules.

Feed rate f = 50 mm/min = 50/ 60 = 0.833 mm/ sec.
Time required to cut the distance (d)

(A) 20.56
(B) 26.56
(C) 30.56

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Given: D = 150 mm, V = 90 m/min, f = 0.24 mm/rev.
d = 2mm, tc = 0.48 mm, α = 0, λ= 90⁰
Uncut chip thickness, t = f sin λ = 0.24 × sin90⁰ = 0.24 mm
Chip thickness ratio, r = t/tc = (0.24/ 0.48) = 1/2
From merchant’s theory,

60. Trepanning is performed for
 (A) Finishing a drilled hole
(B) Producing a large hole without drilling
(C) Truing a hole for alignment
(D) Enlarging a drilled hole
Answer: Option B
Explanation: In trepanning, the cutting tool produces a hole by removing
a disk-shaped piece (core), usually from flat plates. A hole is produced
without reducing all the material removed to chips, as is the case in
drilling. Such drills are used in deep-hole drilling machines for making
large hollow shafts, long machine tool spindles etc.
61. The hardness of a grinding wheel is determined by the
(A) Hardness of abrasive grains
(B) Ability of the bond to retain abrasives
(C) Hardness of the bond
(D) Ability of the grinding wheel to penetrate the work piece
Answer: Option B
Explanation: Because each abrasive grain usually removes only a very
small amount of material at a time, high rates of material removal can be
achieved only if a large number of these grains act together. This is done
by using bonded abrasives, typically in the form of a grinding wheel. The
abrasive grains are held together by a bonding material which acts as
supporting posts or brace between the grains and also increases the
hardness of the grinding wheel.

(A) Sprue base area: runner area: ingate area
(B) Pouring basin area: ingate area: runner area
(C) Sprue base area: ingate area: casting area

followed by the total runner area and the total ingate area. The sprue base
area is taken is unity.
So, 1: 2: 4 = Sprue base area: Runner area: Total ingate area

material. They are being cast. The ratio of the solidification time of the
cube to the same of the sphere is
(A) (4π/6)³ × (r/l)⁶
(B) (4π/6) × (r/l)²
(C) (4π/6)² × (r/l)³
(D) (4π/6)² × (r/l)⁴
Answer: Option D
Solution: According to Canine’s relation
Solidification time, (T) = q × (V/A)²
Where: V = Volume, A= Surface area, Q= Flow rate
q = constant of proportionality depends upon composition of cast
metal
Using the subscript ‘c’ for the cube and subscript‘s’ for the sphere.
Given: Vc = Vs So, T ∝ 1/A²
So, Tc/Ts = (As/Ac)² = (4πr²/6l²)² = (4π/6)² × (r/l)⁴

(B) Act as a reservoir for molten metal
(C) Feed molten metal from the pouring basin to the gate
(D) Help feed the casting until all solidification takes place

temperature
(B) The metal changes from liquid to solid state at freezing
temperature
(C) The temperature of solid phase drops from freezing to room
temperature
(D) The temperature of metal drops from pouring to room temperature
Answer: Option C
Explanation: Since metal shrinks on solidification and contracts further
on cooling to room temperature, linear dimensions of patterns are
increased in respect of those of the finished casting to be obtained. This is
called the “shrinkage allowance”.
So, the temperature of solid phase drops from freezing to room
temperature.
