Which option best explains the difference between PURGE and OVERKILL in AutoCAD?

• PURGE removes unused items; OVERKILL removes duplicate/overlapping objects
• PURGE deletes layers; OVERKILL deletes blocks
• PURGE explodes blocks; OVERKILL cleans 3D objects
• PURGE only works in 3D; OVERKILL only in 2D

Answer explanation

The centroid of a rectangle (b×d) from its base measured vertically is located at:

• d/2
• b/2
• d/3

For a plane area, the perpendicular axis theorem states Jz (polar MOI) equals:

• Ixx − Iyy
• Ixx + Iyy
• Ixx / Iyy
• Ixx × Iyy

Answer explanation

Perpendicular axis theorem: J = Ixx + Iyy for plane laminae.
