For a bevel gear having the pitch angle θ, the ratio of formative number of teeth (TE) to actual number of teeth (T) is
(a) 1/sin θ
(b) 1/cos θ
(c) 1/tan θ
(d) sin θ cos θ
The question was posed to me in an internship interview.
This interesting question is from Worm Gears topic in chapter Toothed Gearing & Gear Trains of Machine Kinematics
