Consider the following statements: 1. When the number of members (n) and joints (j) are such that the equation n = (2j — 3) is satisfied, the framed structure is said to be a perfect structure. 2. In a redundant frame, the number of members is less than that required for a perfect frame. 3. If, in a framed structure, the number of members provided is more than that required for a perfect frame, it is called as a deficient frame. Which of the above statements is/are correct ? (a) (b) (c) (d)

(a) (b) (c) (d) Correct Answer 1 only
Statement I- True
Perfect frames are the one which can be analysed using the three conditions of static equilibrium.
For these
n= 2j – 3
Statement II- False
Redundant frame is a frame having more number of members than required such that there is always a member in which force cannot be computed using equations of static equilibrium, we need other equation like compatibility equations to find force in redundant members. For these,
n > 2j-3
Statement III- False
Deficient frame is frame having less number of members than required for perfect frame. For these,
n < 2j-3.
