The Grubler's criterion for determining the degrees of freedom (n) of a mechanism having plane motion is (where $$l$$ = Number of links and j = Number of binary joints)
A
n = ($$l$$ - 1) - j
B
n = 2($$l$$ - 1) - 2j
C
n = 3($$l$$ - 1) - 2j
D
n = 4($$l$$ - 1) - 3j
Correct Answer: n = 3($$l$$ - 1) - 2j
