It is planned to construct a four-bar mechanism ABCD with length AB= 60mm, BC = 100mm, CD = 70 mm and fixed link AD = 200 mm. If at least one link is required to have a complete rotation, this mechanism is

(a) of crank-rocker type

(b) of double-crank type

(c) of double rocker type

(d) impossible to construct

This question was addressed to me in a dream while sleeping

My question is based upon Velocities in a Slider Crank Mechanism and Motion of a Link in division Velocity in Mechanisms of Machine Kinematics

Correct option is (c) of double rocker type

To explain I would say: S + L = 60 + 200 = 260 mm

P + Q = 100 + 70 = 170 mm

From grashoff equality when S + L > P + Q

So always double rocker.
