Ans. c) 0.01 mm

Q10. While checking the surface flatness of a work table, an examiner started to insert the
feeler gauge under the surface of the ‘height gauge’ placed on this work table. If the thinnest
leaf of the feeler gauge gets inserted under the surface of the height gauge. What does it
mean?
a) This means that the surface of the surface plate is smooth.
b) This means that the surface of the surface plate is not smooth.
c) Both options are possible.
d) None of the above
Ans. b) This means that the surface of the surface plate is not smooth.
