Yes, height is more important because it will be dependent upon the inside diameter of the nut.

So, the height of the nut must be accurate no matter the inside diameter is big or small.

Is it like that? Please explain.

@Dharmender.

I agree with you. Thanks.

Design of nut --The most important dimension in the design of nut is the height of the nut.

Which is governed by minimum number of threads in contact to sustain the torsional shearing.

So, the given answer is correct.

I think it should be B as inside sus decides the strength of nut.

Soumen Mondal said:   10 years ago
I think it should be pitch diameter.

I think pure rolling action is done at pitch points/flank of thread. Hence "A" is correct.

I think answer is B. Because hear no matter off height. In nut inner diameter is important. Because inner diameter is less or more due to this the nut will not engage or disengage properly. So I think answer is inside diameter.
