(a) 4.9
(b) 5.5
(c) 2.5

(b) Anaerobic suspended growth process
(c) Aerobic suspended growth process
(d) Anaerobic attached growth process
Q6. When observed efflorescence is more than 10% but less than 50% of the exposed area, it is:
(a) Moderate efflorescence

(c) Heavy efflorescence
(d) Light efflorescence
Solutions
S1. Ans.(d)
Sol.
| Degree of Workability | Compaction factor |
| Extremely low | 0.65 – 0.7 |
| Very low | 0.7 – 0.8 |
| Low | 0.8 – 0.85 |
| Medium | 0.85 – 0.95 |
| High | 0.95 – 1 |
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. For cohesive soil (c=o)
q_u=CN_C+γ_Df N_q+0.5 B_γ N_γ
q_u=γ_Df N_q+0.5 B_γ N_γ
If water table rises to G.L
q_u=γ_Df N_q+0.5B_γ N_γ
OR
q_u=1/2 γ_sat D_f N_q+0.5 B(1/2 γ_sat ) N_γ
→ If water table rises to ground level in sand ultimate bearing capacity is reduced approximate by 50%
S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. Flexure strength (fc) = 0.7√fck
fc=0.7√50
▭(fc=4.949)
S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Lacey’s theory is applicable to flow in alluvial rivers and canals.
S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. Activated sludge process is example of aerobic suspended growth system. Sludge generated in secondary sedimentation tank mostly consist of living and active micro-organism, hence it is referred as activated sludge.
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol.
For slight efflorescence, it should not cover more than 10% Area of exposed surface.
For moderate efflorescence, it should cover more than 10% but less than 50% of the exposed surface.
For heavy efflorescence, it should cover more than 50% area of the exposed surface.
