Question

The figures shown below depict four mechanisms made using links and hinges, where the small circles represent hinges. Which of the options will allow relative motions between the links?

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Hint:

In hinge mechanism problems, observe how the links are connected and ensure the hinge provides enough freedom for relative motion.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A, C, D

Step 1: Consider the mechanisms made of links and hinges. The hinges allow the links to rotate relative to each other.
Step 2: In and D, the links are connected in such a way that they can move relative to each other due to the freedom provided by the hinges.
Step 3: Therefore, the correct options that allow relative motion between the links are C and D.
