Question

which of the following statements is true? select one a. both live and dead axles drive the vehicle. b. both live and dead axles support the weight of the vehicle. c. the dead axles use the engines torque to turn the wheels. d. the lary axles use the engines torque to turn the wheels.

Explanation:

A live - axle is connected to the drive system and uses the engine's torque to turn the wheels. A dead - axle does not transmit power from the engine but both live and dead axles support the weight of the vehicle. Option a is incorrect as dead axles don't drive the vehicle. Option c is wrong because dead axles don't use the engine's torque. There is no "lazy axle" in the context of vehicle axles, so option d is incorrect.

Answer:

B. Both live and dead axles support the weight of the vehicle.
