A common criticism of Khurmi’s works (both textbook and solution manual) is that while the method is sound, the numerical values in older editions often contain errors.

However, this is minor and easily correctable if the student understands the concept.
The "971" page version often circulated online appears to be a scanned or legacy digital conversion. As a result, the image quality of complex diagrams can sometimes be grainy. Since this subject relies on precise angles and lines in diagrams, a low-resolution scan can be a hindrance to understanding the graphical solutions. solution manual of theory of machine by rs khurmi gupta 971
