This document contains instructions and questions for an engineering graphics midterm exam. It includes 22 problems involving the construction of ellipses, parabolas, hyperbolas, cycloids, epicycloids, hypocycloids, involutes and scales. Students must come to the exam with their drawing book containing neat drawings of all 22 problems. They also need to submit their work up to problem 14 in a drawing file. Attendance is mandatory and absence will result in a zero exam score as well as punishment. No one can enter the exam without their instruments, an empty drawing sheet, completed drawing file and drawing book.

ENGINEERING GRAPHICS QUESTION BANK (I MID)
1. Construct an ellipse, when the distance of the focus from the directrix is equal to
50mm and eccentricity is 2/3. Also draw tangent and normal to the curve at a point 70
mm from the directrix.
2. Construct a parabola, when the distance of the focus from the directrix is 60mm. Also
draw tangent on normal to the curve at a point 50 mm from the directrix.
3. Construct a hyperbola, when the distance of the focus from the directrix is 65mm and
eccentricity is 3/2. Also draw tangent and normal to the curve as a point 75mm from
directrix.
4. Construct a rectangular hyperbola, when a point P on it is at a distance of 30mm and
50mm from two asymptotes.
5. Construct a cycloid having a rolling (generating) circle diameter as 50mm. Draw a
normal and a tangent to a curve at a point 35mm above the base line.
6. Draw epicycloids of a circle of 40mm diameter, which rolls outside on another circle of
120mm diameter for one revolution clockwise. Draw a tangent and a normal to it at a
point 95mm from the centre of the directing circle.
7. Draw a hypocycloid of a circle of 60mm diameter, which rolls inside another circle of
100mm diameter, for one revolution counter clockwise. Draw a tangent & a normal to
it at a point 50 mm from the centre of the directing circle.
8. Draw the involute of a circle of 50mm diameter. Also, draw a normal & a tangent to
the curve at a point 100mm from the centre of the circle.
9. Draw the Involute of a hexagon of side 20mm & draw a tangent & normal to the curve
at 100mm from the centre of hexagon.
10. An area of 400 cm2 on a map represents an area of 25 m2 on a field. Construct a
diagonal scale to measure up to 5 km and show a distance of 3.56 km on it.
11. Construct a Diagonal Scale of R.F = 1/32, showinf Yards, Feet and Inches and to
measure upto 4 yards. Show 1 Yard 2 Feet 7 Inches on it.
12. Construct a vernier scale of 1:40 to read meters, decimeters and centimeters and long
enough to measure up to 6m. Mark a distance of 4.36 m on it.
13. On a map a rectangle of 125 cm x 200 cm represents an area of 6250 square kilometers.
Draw a backward vernier scale to show decameter and long enough to measure up to
7Km. Show a distance of 5.43 Km on it.
14. Draw the projections of the following points on the same ground line, keeping the
projections 25mm apart.
a. A, in the H.P & 20mm, behind the V.P
b. B, 40mm above the H.P & 25mm in front of the V.P.
c. C, in the V.P & 40mm above the H.P.
d. D, 25mm below the H.P & 25mm behind the V.P.
e. E, 15mm above the H.P & 50mm behind the V.P.
f. F, 40mm below the H.P & 25mm in front of the V.P.
g. G, in both the H.P & the V.P.
15. Two pegs fixed on a wall are 4.5m apart. The distance between the pegs measured
parallel to the floor is 3.6m. If one peg is 1.5m above the floor, find the height of the
second peg and the inclination of the line joining the two pegs, with the floor.

2. 16. A line AB, 75mm long, has its ends A in the H.P and 20 mm infront of the V.P. It is
inclined at 450 to the H.P and at 300 to the V.P. Draw the projections and also Traces.
17. A line PQ 120mm long, is inclined at 300 to the H.P. and 450 to the V.P. Its midpoint is
in the V.P. and 20mm above the H.P. Draw its projections, if its end P is in the third
quadrant and Q is in first quadrant.
18. Three lines oa, ob and oc are respectively 25 mm, 45 mm and 65 mm long, each
making 1200 angles with the other two and the shortest line being vertical. The figure is
the top view of the three rods OA, OB and OC whose ends A, B and C are on the
ground, while O is 100 mm above it. Draw the front view and determine the length of
each rod and its inclination with the ground.
19. Draw the projections of a circle of 50mm diameter resting in the HP on a point A on
the circumference, its plane inclined a 450 to the HP and
