I had been asked this question during an online exam.

I'd like to ask this question from Synthesis of Four Bar Mechanism for Body Guidance topic in chapter Computer Aided Analysis and Synthesis of Mechanisms of Machine Dynamics

Answer 1

The correct choice is (a) Improper configuration of precision points

The explanation is: Order defect occurs when the precision points are not configured properly. It is to be noted that too many configuration points does not lead to order defect.
