A hole is specified as 40^{0.000^0.050} mm. The mating shaft has a clearance fit with minimum clearance of 0.01 mm. The tolerance on the shaft is 0.04 mm. The maximum clearance in mm between the hole and the shaft is

1. 0.04
2. 0.05
3. 0.10
4. 0.11

Correct Option: C

Minimum clearance = Minimum hole size – Maximum shaft size
∴ Maximum shaft size = 40.00 – .01 = 39.99 mm
Tolerance on shaft = 0.04 mm
Minimum shaft size = 39.99 – 0.04 = 39.95
Maximum clearance = Maximum hole size – Minimum shaft size
Maximum clearance = 40.05 – 39.95 = 0.10
