Solutions
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. H=10 cm
e_1=0.5
e_2=0.2
∆ H=?
∆H/H=∆e/(1+e)
∆H/10=((0.5-0.2))/(1+0.5)
▭(∆H=2 cm)
S2. Ans.(d)
Sol.
– Simon rain gauge is a non-recording type of rain gauge and commonly used in India.
– Natural syphon rain gauge is adopted in India. It similar to weighing bucket rain gauge. It is recording type of rain gauge.
– Tipping bucket type of rain gauge is used for measuring rain in remote areas. It is recording type of rain gauge means produce continuous plot of rainfall against time.
S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. Quantity of water treated per day = 6000 m³
Quantity of chlorine consumed per day = 20 kg.
Chlorine dosage = (Consumed chlorine per day)/(Quantity of water treated per day)
= (20×10^6 mg.)/(6000× 10^3 l.)
= 3.33 mg/l.
S4. Ans.(c)
Sol.
| Type of Sleepers | Size of ballast |
| Wooden & cost Iron sleepers
CST-9 & Through sleepers Points & Crossing |
50 mm
40 mm 25 mm |
S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. Class A → Eminently hydraulic lime
