Question

The plough consists of a: (A) Common main frame
(B) Disc beam assemblies
(C) Heavy spring-loaded furrow wheel
(D) Gauge wheel
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A), (B) and (D) only
• B. (A), (B) and (C) only
• C. (A), (B), (C) and (D) only
• D. (B), (C) and (D) only

Hint:

The main frame, disc beam assemblies, and gauge wheel are common components of a plough, but not all ploughs include a spring-loaded furrow wheel.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the components of a plough.
A plough typically consists of a common main frame, disc beam assemblies, and a gauge wheel. A heavy spring-loaded furrow wheel may be an additional feature but is not always part of the plough.
Step 2: Analysis of options.
- (A) Common main frame: Correct. This is a fundamental component of the plough. - (B) Disc beam assemblies: Correct. These are used in ploughs to cut and turn the soil. - (C) Heavy spring-loaded furrow wheel: Incorrect. While this wheel is important for some ploughs, it is not essential in all ploughs. - (D) Gauge wheel: Correct. This controls the depth of the plough during operation.
Step 3: Conclusion.
Thus, the correct answer is (A), (B) and (D) only.
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{1. (A), (B) and (D) only} \]
