C
Well actually to be pedantic it’s none of them.

That is what Speedy Jnr answered, and it was marked as incorrect.

quick glance i’d reckon C, even though doesn’t give the structural meat of the hollow round section

C is the least incorrect.

None are correct. Tech Drawing was my best subject at school.

C would be correct if it didn’t have the holes shown nor the line inside the shaded area.
I agree with SN and JudgeMental.

Although C is correct except for the holes, the lines separating the hatching are fine in a weldment but not in a one piece casting.

quick glance i’d reckon C, even though doesn’t give the structural meat of the hollow round section
definitely C, even the bolt holes in the mounting plate or whatever as indicated conform with the rest of drawing, consistent that way, unfilled areas, it’s the minimum required of the three images that provides everything needed, they are a set of drawings

The bolt holes wouldn’t be visible in the selected sectional view.

Yep.
For example last week I was asked to design a front wheel hub for a mate’s racing car. He gave me the broken one and I had to create a drawing from that – minus the broken part of course. This is how it looked, and you can see how the cross-section drawing goes.
And here’s the end result of the CNC machining.

The bolt holes wouldn’t be visible in the selected sectional view.
the sectional view pointing to A-A as the reference then moved to a side view in a sequence of diagrams, the empty volumes of the hollow round section are left unfilled, they extend left and right of the A-A reference, so for consistency you might put the bolt holes in there, as diagram C does, for orientation of viewing
seems consistent to me
i’d put the mounting plate bolt holes or whatever in there as they have done

the holes are not in the plane A-A, they are forward of it. If you cut the block according to the A-A line and looked at it side-on you would not see the holes. At best the holes should be indicated by a dotted line, if at all.

the holes would be represented as dashed lines in one of the elevation drawings not in a sectional.

I’m not an engineer but I’ve done quite a lot of exacting design work.
These sorts of sectional views are expected to be precise.
“A” must be where they take the cross section that’s why the holes in the bottom plate shouldn’t appear in the cross section

Good, so we’re not just dreaming… so which was the actual supposed correct answer¿ (We couldn’t see Speedy having specified that anywhere.)

yeah, we don’t know.
If you put the bolt holes in C the vertical lines should not be solid also the area should be hatched.
Also where in the elevation or iso does it show that the CHS is not blanked off ?

This is messy. The question was from the Catholic Secondary Schools Association of NSW 2020 HSC Trial Exam, which was provided to Speedy Jnr by his school for revision work. The solution stated that B was correct.
As it turned out, Speedy Jnr’s school decided to use the same question for their own HSC Mid-year exam this year, and Speedy Jnr wrote “none” beside the question, but selected B as his answer, as it would be stupid to not answer a multiple choice question.
It was marked incorrect, but the solution that his own school thought correct was not provided, or if it was, Speedy Jnr did not make a record of it (we were in lockdown by the time results were known).
I am quite upset with the faculty that teaches Engineering at the school. This is just one example of the extreme laziness they have demonstrated throughout the year, another being countless scheduled ‘on-record’ Zoom meetings that did not eventuate, which I have already made a complaint to the school about. Their response has been dismal so far. My next step will likely be a complaint to “The Department” (as they call it).
I am glad that Little Speedy has chosen very different areas of study for his HSC in 2022, just in case the poo hits the fan.
