In a cone pulley, if the sum of radii of the pulleys on the driving and driven shafts is constant, then

A open belt drive is recommended
B cross belt drive is recommended
C both open belt drive and cross belt drive are recommended
D the drive is recommended depending upon the torque transmitted

Correct Answer: cross belt drive is recommended

In a cross belt drive, both the pulleys rotate in opposite directions. If sum of the radii of the two pulleys be constant, then length of the belt required will also remain constant, provided the distance between centres of the pulleys remain unchanged.
