The maximum number of orthographic views of an object is:

A. two
B. three
C. four
D. five
E. None of the above

Answer :

Certainly! Let's go through the concept of orthographic views to answer the question.

Orthographic views are a way to represent a three-dimensional object in two dimensions using multiple views. The purpose is to convey all the details of the object clearly. Here's how it works:

1. Front View (Elevation): This view shows the object from the front and provides details such as the height and width.

2. Top View (Plan): This perspective is from above the object, showing details about its width and depth.

3. Side View (End View): This shows the object from the side, often the right or left side, and gives details on height and depth.

These three views—front, top, and side—are considered the most standard and essential to comprehensively describe any object. In many technical drawings and engineering design tasks, these three views are used because they provide sufficient information about the object's dimensions and shape.

Thus, the maximum number of standard orthographic views of an object is three. This makes option B (three) the correct answer to the question.
