The two elements of a pair are said to form a higher pair, when they
A
have a surface contact when in motion
B
have a line or point contact when in motion
C
are kept in contact by the action of external forces, when in motion
D
permit relative motion
Correct Answer: have a line or point contact when in motion
When the two elements of a pair have a line or point contact when relative motion takes place and the motion between the two elements is partly turning and partly sliding, then the pair is known as higher pair.
