Q1:

The maximum pitch of rivets for compression and tension members should not exceed

A 32 t

B 200 mm

C 40 t

D 300 mm

E both (a) and (d)

ANS:E - both (a) and (d)

I think the answer would be 200 mm.

In case of compression 12t or 200mm whichever is less.
In case of tension 16t or 200mm whichever is less.
Here, above the maximum is 200 mm.

In the case of tack rivet 32t or 300mm whichever is less.
