While calculating the shear and bearing capacity of rivet the factor of safety had been calculated. Is it necessary to consider the factor of safety twice? Please, anyone, tell me.

No need to use FOS because of strength is already underestimated.

The answer is wrong!

Rivet value is taken as minimum value of Shearing, Bearing and tearing!
No of rivets = Force/Rivet value.
Then the answer is 10.21.
