Question

Identify the components of lift: 
• [A.] Comb plate 
• [B.] Machine Room 
• [C.] Counter weight 
• [D.] Car 
• [E.] Buffers Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A, B, C, D
• B. B, C, D, E
• C. A, C, D, E
• D. A, B, C, D and E

Hint:

Remember:
• Comb Plate $\rightarrow$ Escalator component
• Counterweight $\rightarrow$ Lift balancing component
• Buffers $\rightarrow$ Lift safety devices Lifts use counterweights to improve energy efficiency and smooth operation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: A lift (elevator) is a vertical transportation system used in buildings for movement of people and goods between floors. Major components of a lift include:
• Machine room,
• Lift car,
• Counterweight,
• Guide rails,
• Buffers,
• Hoisting mechanism. These components work together to ensure safe and efficient vertical transportation.

Step 1: Analyze each component listed in the question.
• A. Comb plate -- Comb plates are components of escalators, not lifts.
• B. Machine Room -- Houses lift machinery and control equipment. \checkmark
• C. Counter weight -- Balances the lift car to reduce motor load. \checkmark
• D. Car -- The compartment used for carrying passengers or goods. \checkmark
• E. Buffers -- Safety devices placed at the bottom of lift shafts to absorb impact. \checkmark

Step 2: Identify the correct combination.
The actual components of a lift are: \[ B,\; C,\; D,\; \text{and}\; E \] Therefore, the correct answer is: \[ {B,\; C,\; D,\; E} \]
