Question 19 QMED05 - Machinist-Pump Technician
Which of the projections represents the left side view of the object "X" in the illustration? Illustration GS-0022
The Correct Answer is A **Explanation for Option A (A) being correct:** Projection A correctly represents the left side view of the object "X". When viewing the object from the left side, the following features are visible: 1. **Overall Shape:** The projection shows the overall height and depth (which becomes the width in this view) of the main rectangular block. 2. **"L" Cutout Feature:** The deep "L" shaped cutout visible on the front and top surfaces of the object translates into a large rectangular notch or missing section viewed from the left. This cutout goes from the top edge down towards the bottom and across from the front edge towards the back, meaning the left side view should show the remaining back corner as a solid rectangle, and the space created by the cutout as an empty area. Projection A accurately displays this resulting shape: a tall, narrow rectangle on the right side (representing the rear section of the object) and a lower, wider section on the left side (representing the front section's height). The overall profile matches the view obtained when looking directly at the left face. **Explanation for why other options are incorrect:** * **Option B (B):** Projection B is incorrect. It appears to represent the **right side view** of the object. When viewed from the right, the object would look like a simple solid rectangle, as the "L" cutout is located on the opposite (left) side and does not break the continuity of the right face. * **Option C (C):** Projection C is incorrect. This projection appears to represent the **front view** of the object. The front view clearly shows the main rectangular shape with the upper-left corner removed by the "L" cutout, resulting in a distinct "L" shape profile, but viewed from the front, not the side. * **Option D (D):** Projection D is incorrect. This projection appears to represent the **top view** of the object. The top view shows the overall width and depth, with the "L" cutout visible as a notch in the front-left corner of the rectangular outline.
