  1. A pair of spur gears with module 5 mm and a center distance of 450 mm is used for a speed reduction of 5 : 1. The number of teeth on pinion is ______ .
    1. 32
    2. 30
    3. 31.5
    4. 32.4
Correct Option: B

Given speed Ratio = 5: 1

5
=
T2
=
d2
1T1d1

⇒ d2 = 5d1
centre distance =
d1 + d2
= 450
2

⇒ d1 + d2 = 900
⇒ 5d1 + d1 = 900
⇒ d1 = 150
m =
d1
⇒ T1 =
1500
= 30
T15
