1. A 50 mm long line AB is perpendicular to the V.P. and 40 mm above the H.P. One end
of the line is 10 mm in front of the V.P. Draw its projections and locate the traces.

2. The front view of an 80 mm long line PQ measures 50 mm. The line lies in the H.P.
such that one end is 30 mm in front of the V.P. Draw the projections of the line and find
its inclination with the V.P.

3. Two points P and Q lying in the V.P. are 90 mm apart. The horizontal distance between
the points is 60 mm. If the point P is 15 mm above the H.P., find the height of the point
Q above the H.P. and the inclination of the line joining P and Q with the H.P.

4. A 70 mm long line AB is parallel to the V.P. and inclined to the H.P. The end A is 20
mm above the H.P. and 30 mm in front of the V.P. The top view of the line measures
45 mm. Draw its projections.

5. An electric switch and a bulb fixed on a wall are 5 m apart. The distance between them
measured parallel to the floor is 4 meters. If the switch is 1 m above the floor, find the
height of the bulb and inclination of line joining the two with the floor.

6. An 80 mm long line PQ has the end Q lying both in the H.P. and V.P. The line is
inclined at 30° to H.P. and 45° to the V.P. Draw its projections.

 of the V.P. Draw the projections of the line and determine its true length and
inclinations with the principal planes. Also, locate its traces.

11. A classroom of size 3 m × 5 m × 4 m high has two hooks A and B nailed on the adjacent
walls. The hook A is in the middle of the longer wall, 1 m above the floor and is
projected 0.3 m from the surface of the wall. The hook B is 2.5 m above the floor, 1.5
m from the other longer wall and is projected 0.3 m from the surface of the wall. Find
the shortest distance between the projected ends of the hooks.

12. A TV table 0.8 m × 0.8 m × 0.5 m high is kept in the corner of a leaving room 4.5 m ×
3.5 m × 4 m high. A 0.5 m hook is hanging in the center of the roof. Find the distance
between the end of the hook and the nearest corner of the table.

13. A 20 m high wireless aerial tower is tied at top by two guy ropes having angles of
depression of 30° and 45°. The other end of guy ropes is connected to two poles at
heights of 5 m and 2.5 m respectively. The two poles are 12 m apart. Draw projections
of the arrangement and determine lengths of guy ropes.

14. A line PQ inclined at 45° to the H.P. has its top view 60 mm long. The end P is 15 mm
above the H.P. and 20 mm in front of the V.P. whereas the end Q is equidistant from
both the principal planes. Draw the projections of the line and determine its true length
and inclination with the V.P. Also, locate its traces.

15. A 90 mm long line PQ is inclined at 30° to the H.P. and 45° to the V.P. The end P is 10
mm above the H.P. and 100 mm in front of the V.P. Draw the projections of the line
and determine distance of end P from the V.P. Also, locate the traces.

16. A line PQ is inclined at 30° to the H.P. and 45° to the V.P. The end P is 30 mm above
the H.P. and end Q is 70 mm in front of the V.P. If the top view of the line measures 75
mm, draw its projections. Determine its true length, inclination with the V.P. and the
traces.

17. A 90 mm long line PQ has the end P on the H.P. and 70 mm in front of the V.P. The
end Q is 10 mm in front of the V.P. Draw the projections of the line when the sum of

with the reference planes and locate its traces.

18. A line PQ inclined at 45° to the V.P. has its front view 60 mm long. The end P is 10
