The missing dimension in the following simple part is

- A. 11.5 ± 1.5
- B. 11.5 ± 2.5
- C. 11.5 ± 3.5
- D. 11.5 ± 4.5
Answer: C. 11.5 ± 3.5
Explanation: This is a tolerance stack-up problem. AB_avg = 57 - 17 - 17.5 - 11 = 11.5. The tolerance is the sum of individual tolerances: 1.5(CD)+0.5(EA)+0.5(GF)+0.5(BG) = 3.5. So, AB = 11.5 ± 3.5.
