    (C) Thickness
    (D) Mean diameter
4. Jam nut is a locking device in which
    (A) A smaller nut is tightened against main nut creating friction at the contacting surface
    (B) A split pin is passed through diametrically opposite slots in nut and a hole in bolt and the two ends of split pin are separated and bent back on nut
