A drawing shows the same overall length dimensioned as 240 mm on one view and 245 mm on another. The correct action is

  • A.average the two figures and proceed
  • B.query the drawing, since a dimension must appear once only
  • C.adopt the smaller figure as the safer of the two
  • D.adopt the larger figure to allow for machining

Answer: B

Correct answer: query the drawing, since a dimension must appear once only

Two different figures for the same length mean the drawing is wrong, and nothing on it says which figure is right - one of them is probably a revision that was not carried through. Averaging, or choosing the safer-looking value, is guessing at the designer’s intent. The rule that a dimension appears once exists precisely to prevent this situation arising.
