Question

The radius of the circle on which the outside front wheel moves, when the front wheels are turned to their extreme outer position, is known as ............... radius.

• A. pre-set
• B. axial
• C. vertical
• D. turning

Hint:

Tip: Turning radius = tight turning circle for better maneuverability!

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

When a vehicle’s front wheels are turned fully to one side, each wheel traces a circular path on the ground.
The radius of this path traced by the outside front wheel is known as the turning radius.
The turning radius determines how tightly a vehicle can turn, which is an important factor for maneuverability.
A smaller turning radius allows a vehicle to make sharper turns and park in tighter spaces.
Terms like axial, pre-set, or vertical do not describe this concept in steering geometry.
Therefore, the correct answer is turning radius.
