(a) Cutting
(b) Surface excavation
(c) Dressing
(d) Excavation

(b) 4 mg/l
(c) 0.4 mg/l

(a) 1:3
(b) 1: 6
(c) 1:10
(d) 1:9

Q6. Tapering steps provided for changing the direction of a stair is termed as__________.
(a) Soffit
(b) Flier
(c) Scotia
(d) Winder

Solutions

S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. Effective throat thickness in butt weld is assumed to be 5/8 th of thickness of thinner member.

S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. Annual installment of sinking fund(I) = Si/([(1+i)]^n-1)
Where i = rate of interest
n = design life of structure
S = total sinking fund.

S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. When the width is 10 m² in plan area an excavation exceeding 1.5 m. with depth not exceeding 30 cm. then it is termed as surface excavation.
Hence for surface excavation-
Width of trench > 1.5 m
Surface area > 10 m²
Thickness of earthwork < 0.3 m.

S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. total Quantity of water treated = 5000 m³/day
= 5000×10³ l/day
Consumed chlorine per day = 20 kg
= 20 × 10^6 mg.
Chlorine dosage = (consumed chlorine Per day)/(Total Quantity of water treated per day)
= (20×10^6)/(5×10^6 )
= 4 mg/litre.

S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. The proportion of cement : Sand (mortar) is normally used for brick masonry construction is 1:6. If the thickness of wall is less than 19 cm, then proportion of cement: sand should be taken as 1:4.

S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. Winder → These are tapering steps which are provided for changing the direction of a stair.
