Preferred standard scales for engineering drawings are chosen so that

  • A.every drawing on a project uses a different ratio
  • B.the ratio matches the sheet size exactly
  • C.the ratio is a simple multiple of 1, 2 or 5
  • D.the ratio is always a prime number

Answer: C

Correct answer: the ratio is a simple multiple of 1, 2 or 5

Standard scales run 1:1, 1:2, 1:5, 1:10, 1:20, 1:50 and so on, so that the mental arithmetic of converting a scaled length is easy and a familiar set of scale rules serves every drawing. An arbitrary ratio such as 1:37 would be correct but would need a scale constructed specially and computation at every reading.
