(a) 37.5 cm
(b) 30.75 cm

Solutions
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. Igneous rock → These rocks are formed by cooling or solidification of magma. These are strong and durable.
Ex. Granite, dolerite, basalt, andesite, rhyolite etc.
S2. Ans.(c)
Sol.
l = 30
l’ = 30 – 0.10 = 29.9m.
L’ = 300 m.
L =?
L × l = L’ × l’
L × 30 = 300 × 29.9
▭(L=299m.)
S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. Aeration is the process in which water is brought in intimate contact with air which removes undesirable gases (like CO_2 H_2 S), taste, odour, volatile liquid and dissolved mineral (like iron and magnesia) from water.
S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Maximum theoretical capacity from space head way is given by–
N=(1000 V)/S
▭(N=(1000 V)/(L+C)) (∵ S = L + C)
Where, N = Theoretical maximum capacity
V = Speed of vehicle in kmph
L = Length of vehicle in m.
C = Clear distance between two consecutive vehicles.
S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. Given
w_L=40%
I_P = 20%
w_P= ?
I_P=w_L-w_P
20%=40%-W_P
▭(W_P=20%)
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. Delta (∆) = 7.5 cm.
Bale period (B)= 28 days
D=8.64 B/∆
= 8.64×28/7.5×100
= 3225.6 ha/cumes
Now B= 140 days
∆= ?
D= 3225.6 ha/cumecs
∆=8.64 B/D
= 8.64×140/3225.6
= 0.375 m.
= 37.5 cm
