  1. The motion of the wheels of a bullock-cart while moving on the road is an example of
    1. Oscillatory and rotatory motion
    2. Oscillatory and translatory motion
    3. Translatory and rotatory motion
    4. Translatory motion only
Correct Option: C

There are four basic types of motion in mechanical systems: Rotary, Linear, Reciprocating and Oscillating motion. Rotatory motion is turning round in a circle, such as a wheel turning. While the wheel is moving, the mechanism transfers translational motion into rotary motion. As a matter of fact, translatory motion and rotatory motion occur at the same time.
