• A. Spur
• B. Spiral bevel
• C. Hypoid
• D. Helical

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Identifying the gearing type in final drives.
Hypoid gears are commonly used in the final drives of modern vehicles, especially in the differential where the drive pinion and ring gear interface. This gear type allows for smooth, quiet operation and enables a larger diameter ring gear, which can handle more torque and reduce gear wear.
