Q: Why might an engineer choose to use a smaller scale (like 1:500) rather than a larger scale (like 1:10) for a project ?
  • A. To fit a large area on a standard-sized drawing sheet.
  • B. To represent only a single object.
  • C. To make the drawing more complex.
  • D. To show more details of a specific component.
Correct Answer: Option A - We use a smaller scale like 1:500 rather than a larger scale like that of 1:10 because a fix size of drawing sheet is available and all mandatory details have to be represented so we use use small scale.
