Q:

What do you mean by M10?

A) Metric thread with a major diameter of 10.00mm and fine pitch B) Metric thread with a major diameter of 10.00mm and coarse pitch
C) Metric thread with a major diameter of 10.00cm and fine pitch D) Metric thread with a minor diameter of 10.00mm and coarse pitch
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Metric thread with a major diameter of 10.00mm and coarse pitch
