Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 1 : 2 mm

Concept:

Circular pitch:

It is the distance along the pitch circle or pitch line between corresponding profiles of adjacent teeth.

\(P_c=\frac{\pi D}{T}\)

Module: 

It is the ratio of diameter (in mm) and the number of teeth of gears.

\(m=\frac{D}{T}\)

∴ Pc = π × m

Calculation:

Given:

No of teeth, T = 22 and Pitch circle diameter, D = 14 mm

Circular pitch (Pc): 

pc = π × m

\(p_c= \frac{22}{7}\times\frac{14}{22}\)

pc = 2 mm.
