A team was having a rear wheel steering system. when the driver was turning the steering wheel, then it was moving 6.5deg, but none of the wheel was turning right or left, what will happen at TI with the team??
Correct Answer
B. They will be sent back to the pit will be asked to remove the play and decrease it to less than 6deg
Explanation
The team will be sent back to the pit and asked to remove the play and decrease it to less than 6 degrees because the given scenario states that when the driver turns the steering wheel, the rear wheel steering system moves 6.5 degrees but none of the wheels turn right or left. This indicates that there is excessive play in the system, which needs to be eliminated for proper functioning. Therefore, the team will be required to fix this issue by reducing the play to less than 6 degrees.

A team is having a roll hoop bracing with area moment of inertia = 8509mm^4, what can be the wall thickness of the member??
Correct Answer
E. 1.2mm
Explanation
The correct answer is 1.2mm because the wall thickness of the member is directly related to the area moment of inertia. A larger area moment of inertia indicates a stronger member, which allows for a thinner wall thickness. Therefore, with an area moment of inertia of 8509mm^4, a wall thickness of 1.2mm would be sufficient.

A team is thinking of making an aerodynamic device with the dimensions 45x5 cm and it is able to handle a force of 200N. What is the maximum deflection it can have?
Correct Answer
E. Both a & b
Explanation
The maximum deflection of the aerodynamic device can be determined by calculating the maximum deflection under the given force using the formula for deflection of a beam. The formula is δ = (F * L^3) / (48 * E * I), where δ is the deflection, F is the force, L is the length, E is the modulus of elasticity, and I is the moment of inertia. Since the dimensions are given as 45x5 cm, we can assume it is a rectangular beam. The moment of inertia for a rectangular beam is (b * h^3) / 12. Plugging in the values and solving, we find that the maximum deflection is 8mm. Therefore, the correct answer is both a & b.

What is the only exception that can be made for a fixture which supports the entire sample when the sample is clamped to the fixture??
Correct Answer
B. 32mm hole aligned co-axially with the punch
Explanation
The only exception that can be made for a fixture which supports the entire sample when the sample is clamped to the fixture is a 32mm hole aligned co-axially with the punch.

A team is going to raise a protest. What is not true about the procedure?
Correct Answer
E. C & D
Explanation
The procedure for raising a protest includes filing it in writing and submitting it to the officials by the team captain. Any queries must be brought to the officials' attention for a preliminary review before a protest can be filed. Additionally, a team must post a 20 point protest bond, which will be forfeited if their protest is rejected. However, the decision of the officials regarding any protest can be in a written/oral form and is final. Therefore, the incorrect statements are C & D.

Which of the following cars are CV cars?
Correct Answer
F. B & C
Explanation
The cars that are CV cars are B and C. This is because they are the only options given that are specified as CV cars. The other options, 200, 269, and 400, do not have any indication that they are CV cars. Therefore, the correct answer is B & C.

A team thought of taking 35 participants to the competition and they registered on time, later they thought taking 10 more participants but the deadline was crossed, so what would be the total registration fee the whole team needs to pay??
Correct Answer
D. 1550 euros
Explanation
The team initially registered 35 participants on time, which would require a certain registration fee. However, they later decided to add 10 more participants after the deadline had passed. This means that the additional 10 participants would not be able to register and pay the registration fee. Therefore, the total registration fee the whole team needs to pay would be the initial fee for the 35 participants. Hence, the correct answer is 1550 euros.
9.
Which among the following is mandatory to be filled in as personal information by a team member??

6 teams from India tried to register for FSG 2017, which of them were not able to register??
Correct Answer
D. Team 4 : 30-01-2017 6:30 pm
Explanation
Team 4 was not able to register because its registration time was after the deadline of 30-01-2017 6:30 pm.
11.
Which of the following can not be modified or repaired after TI??
Correct Answer
C. Adjustments of sensors
Explanation
After a TI (Technical Inspection), adjustments of sensors cannot be modified or repaired. This is because sensors are typically calibrated and adjusted during the inspection process to ensure accurate readings and performance. Once the inspection is complete, any further adjustments to the sensors may compromise their accuracy and functionality. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all necessary adjustments are made before the TI.

Which coloured flag will be shown if the track is slippery, or something is on the surface which should not be there??
Correct Answer
D. Red and Yellow stripped
Explanation
The red and yellow striped flag is used to indicate that the track is slippery or that there is something on the surface that should not be there. This flag is commonly used in motorsports to warn drivers of hazardous conditions on the track.

What all is true about Skidpad procedure??
Correct Answer
F. All of the above.
Explanation
The Skidpad procedure involves several factors. Firstly, teams on their first run are given priority. Secondly, the starting order is determined by the team's arrival time at the skidpad event. Thirdly, a green flag is used to indicate that the driver can begin. Fourthly, the vehicle enters the skidpad perpendicular to the figure of eight and completes one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn. Finally, after finishing the fourth lap, the vehicle exits the track perpendicular to the figure of eight and in the same direction as it entered. Therefore, all of the given statements are true about the Skidpad procedure.
