Define the shaft and hole dimensions:
Shaft Size: 25.000 -0.010⁺⁰∙⁰⁴⁰ mm
Hole Size: 25.000 -0.010⁺⁰∙⁰²⁰ mm
Calculate the maximum and minimum shaft dimensions:
Maximum Shaft: 25.000 + 0.040 = 25.040 mm
Minimum Shaft: 25.000 - 0.010 = 24.990 mm
Calculate the maximum and minimum hole dimensions:
Maximum Hole: 25.000 + 0.020 = 25.020 mm
Minimum Hole: 25.000 - 0.010 = 24.990 mm
Calculate the maximum clearance:
Maximum Clearance = Maximum Hole - Minimum Shaft
Maximum Clearance = 25.020 mm - 24.990 mm = 0.030 mm
Convert to microns:
0.030 mm = 30 microns
The correct answer is: 60 microns
Max shaft = 24.99 mm
Min shaft = 24.96 mm
Max Hole = 25.02 mm
Min Hole 25.01 mm
Min. clearance = Min. Hole - Max Shaft = 20 microns
Max. clearance = Max Hole - Minimum shaft = 60 microns
From the above que clearance is only 20microns how is it possible for 30microns its the wrong ans know
Maximum possible clearance = Hole max size - Shaft min size = 25.02 -24.99 = 0.03 (30 microns)
Here 25.02 = 25 + 0.02 (max tolerance value) &
24.99 = 25 - 0.01 (min tolerance value)
25.02-24.99= .03
This is interference fit. Max upper limit - Min lower limit gives clearance. So, 0.04-0.01 = 0.03 mm = 30 microns.

nice question.
