Match list I with list II :

List IList II
a. Unwin's formulaeI. Bearing
b. Wahl factorII. Rivets
c. Reynold's equationIII. Gears
d. Lewis form factorIV. Springs

Exam Year(s)

RSMSSB JE - 2025, RSMSSB - 2025,

Answer: D

The correct matching is a-II, b-IV, c-I, d-III.

  • Unwin's formula, \(d = 6\sqrt{t}\), gives the rivet diameter from the plate thickness: rivets.
  • Wahl's factor corrects the shear stress in a helical spring for curvature and direct shear: springs.
  • Reynolds' equation gives the pressure in the oil film of a hydrodynamic bearing: bearings.
  • Lewis form factor enters the beam strength of a gear tooth: gears.

Only one option has all four pairs. Options pairing Unwin's formula with bearings, or Wahl factor with gears, are wrong at the first pair.

Exam Year(s)

RSMSSB JE - 2025, RSMSSB - 2025,

Answer: B

The number 6 indicates the number of strands in the wire rope.

A wire rope is designated as strands by wires: a 6 × 20 rope has 6 strands, each made of 20 wires, laid round a core. Common constructions include 6 × 7, 6 × 19 and 6 × 37.

So 6 is not the number of wires (that is the second number), nor the rope diameter or the wire gauge, which are specified separately.

Match List - I with List - II :

List - IList - II
(a) Unwin's formulae(i) Bearing
(b) Wahl Factor(ii) Rivets
(c) Reynold's equation(iii) Gears
(d) Lewis form factor(iv) Springs

Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

Exam Year(s)

RSMSSB JE - 2025, RSMSSB - 2025,

Answer: A

The correct matching is (a)-(ii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(iii).

  • Unwin's formula, \(d = 6\sqrt{t}\) (mm), gives the rivet diameter from the plate thickness: rivets (a-ii).
  • The Wahl factor corrects the shear stress in a helical spring for curvature and direct shear (b-iv).
  • Reynolds' equation governs the pressure in a hydrodynamic oil film, the basis of journal bearing design (c-i).
  • The Lewis form factor appears in the Lewis equation for the bending strength of gear teeth (d-iii).

The other options give the Wahl factor to gears or Unwin's formula to bearings, neither of which is where they are used.
