(a) Map A is large scale map compared map B.
(b) Map B is large scale map compared map A.
(c) Map B is a more detailed map compared map A.
(d) None of the above
Q6. The geologic formation which is neither porous nor permeable, and hence neither contains nor yields groundwater is termed as________.
(a) Aquiclude
(b) Aquifer
(c) Aquitard
(d) Aquifuge
Solutions
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. According to Nagpur Road plan, the roads has classified into 5 categories.
(i) National highway
(ii) Sate highway
(iii) Major district roads
(iv) Other district roads
(v) Village roads
S2. Ans.(d)
Sol. When a steel beam is carrying just its self-load and it needs to be supported on two columns (span length, L) with equal overhangs (Y) on both the sides such that the bending moment at the mid span is zero, then the ratio of L/y should be 2.00.
S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. Given, rate of interest (i) = 5%
Annual rent = 1,80,000 Rs.
Capitalized value =?
Year’s purchase = 100/(i%)=100/5=20 years
Capitalized value of building = Annual rent × year’s purchase
= 1,80,000 × 20
= 36,00,000 Rs
S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. Tri – calcium silicate (C_3 S) is responsible for early strength while Tri-calcium aluminate (C_3 A) is responsible for flash setting and when Tri-calcium aluminate is in excess in cement then it is responsible for most of the undesirable properties.
S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. Note → Higher the R.F. value, larger the scale.
For map – A (R.F)_A=1/100
▭((R.F)_A=0.001)
For map – B (R.F)_B=1/5000
▭((R.F)_B=0.0002)
▭((R.F)_A>(R.F)_B )
Hence, map A is large scale map as compared to map B.
S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. An aquifuge is an impermeable geological formation which is neither porous nor permeable which means neither contains nor yield ground water. Ex. Compact rock.
