The correct choice is (a) True

For explanation: The speed ratio (or velocity ratio) of gear train is the ratio of the speed of the driver to

the speed of the driven or follower. But if the number of intermediate gears are even, the motion of the driven or follower will be in the opposite direction of the driver.
