Q.	A regular cone is resting on H.P on its base. A section plane is perpendicular to H.P and V.P cutting the cone such that the plane is not having axis of cone in it. The section would be
A.	ellipse
B.	hyperbola
C.	parabola
D.	triangle
Answer» C. parabola
Explanation: given the section plane is perpendicular to h.p and v.p and axis of cone perpendicular to h.p. so if a regular cone is been cut by plane which is parallel to its axis and plane is not coinciding with the axis then section formed will be parabola.
