Question

If the smallest gear rotates in clockwise direction, in which direction will the largest gear rotate?

• A. Clockwise direction
• B. Anti-clockwise direction
• C. Move forward
• D. Will not rotate at all

Answer 1

The correct option is B Anti-clockwise direction

When two gears mesh together, the second one always turns in the opposite direction. Now, let's label the gears.

Smallest gear here is gear A, which rotates in clockwise direction. So, B rotates in antiockwise direction. Moving further, C rotates in clockwise direction and D in anticlockwise direction. D is the largest gear here. So, the largest gear rotates in the anticlockwise direction.
