Q27

The ratio of the area of openings in one screen (Taylor series) to that of the openings in the next smaller screen is

A.
1.5
B.
1
C.
Answer
D.
None of these

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
The ratio of the area of openings in one screen (Taylor series) to that of the openings in the next smaller screen is given by the square root of 2, denoted as √2. This ratio is based on the Taylor series for mesh sizes in screens commonly used in mechanical operations.

Therefore, in this context, the correct option is Option C: √2 (Square Root of 2).
