MCQ on Gearbox
1. Which of the following is the need of the gearbox?
a) To vary the speed of the vehicle
b) To vary the torque of the vehicle
c) To vary the power of the vehicle
d) To vary the acceleration of the vehicle

Answer: b
Explanation: The purpose of the gearbox is to give means so that the torque can be varied as
required between the engine and the road wheels.

2. In which type of manual transmission the double-declutching is used?


a) Constant-mesh gearbox
b) Sliding mesh gearbox
c) Synchromesh gearbox
d) Epicyclical gearbox

Answer: a
Explanation: The double-declutching is used in the constant-mesh gearbox. For the smooth
engagement of the dog clutch, the speed of the main shaft and layshaft should be the same.
Multiple Choice Questions

3. In which of the gearbox all gears are always in contact?


a) Constant-mesh gearbox
b) Sliding mesh gearbox
c) Synchromesh gearbox
d) Epicyclical gearbox

Answer: a
Explanation: In constant mesh gearbox, all gears on the layshaft and main shaft are in contact all
the time. For selecting gear, the dog clutch is used.

4. In which of the gearbox sun and planet gear set is used?


a) Constant-mesh gearbox
b) Sliding mesh gearbox
c) Synchromesh gearbox
d) Epicyclical gearbox

Answer: d
Explanation: In epicyclic gearbox, the sun and planet gears are used. Using this arrangement
various gear ratios can be obtained. Also, this type of gearbox is compact in design than other
types of gearbox.

5. Where is the overdrive located?


a) Between transmission and engine
b) Between transmission and rear axle
c) Between transmission and propeller shaft
d) Between transmission and differential

Answer: c
Explanation: The overdrive is used to increase the gear ratio of the vehicle. It used where the
high speed is needed at relatively low engine speed. By using overdrive, the wear of the engine
parts is less and decreases the vibration and noise.

6. Which of the following is not part of automatic transmission?


a) Epicyclic gearbox
b) Torque convertor
c) Multi-plate clutch
d) Sliding mesh gearbox

Answer: d
Explanation: The automatic transmission consists of the epicyclic gearbox, torque convertor,
and multi-plate clutch. The sliding mesh gearbox is a type of manual transmission.

7. In which of the configuration of epicyclic gearbox output will be forward and fast output
speed?
a) Sun gear stationary, ring gear driven, planet carrier driving
b) Sun gear driving, ring gear driven, planet carrier stationary
c) Sun gear driven, ring gear stationary, planet carrier driving
d) Sun gear stationary, ring gear stationary, planet carrier driving

Answer: a
Explanation: When the Sun gear is stationary, the planet carrier is driving and the ring gear is
driven then output is forward and fast speed. When any two of the three are stationary then we
get the direct drive.
Multiple Choice Questions

8. Which types of gears are used in constant mesh gearbox?


a) Spur gear
b) Helical gear
c) Bevel gear
d) Worm gear

Answer: b
Explanation: As the gears are always in mesh in the constant-mesh gearbox, therefore there is
no need for using the spur gears and the helical gears are used as those are quite in use.

9. Why are the helical gears used commonly in transmission over spur gears?
a) Low cost and high strength
b) Low noise level and high strength
c) Low noise level and economy
d) Low noise level and low cost

Answer: b
Explanation: The teeth profile on the helical gear is at an angle to the axis of the gear because of
which helical gears produce less noise during operation and also they have high strength.
