(a) 200 mg/l
(b) 600 mg/l
(c) 100 mg/l
(d) 500 mg/l

Solutions

S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. Hard wood → These woods are dark in colour and heavier in weight. ex. Sal, teak, shishum and other deciduous tree.
Soft wood → These woods are lighter in colour and weight. Ex willow, sandle, chir, deodar, pine and other conifers trees.

S2. Ans. (d)
Sol. Diameter = 1 mm
Surface tension of water at 20° C = 0.075 N/m
For water θ = 0
Capillary rise (h) = (4 σ cos⁡θ)/(γ_w d )
= (4 × 0 .075 ×cos 0 )/(1000 ×10 ×1 × 10^(-3) )
= 0.03 m
▭(h = 30 mm)

S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. Bending moment equation
M/I=σ/y=E/R
Here,
M = bending moment
I = moment of inertia
σ = bending stress
y = distance from neutral axis
E = modulus of elasticity
R = Radius of curvature

S4. Ans.(d)
Sol.
D_60=4mm
D_30=2mm
D_10=0.5mm
Coefficient of uniformity (C_u )=D_60/D_10
=4/0.5
=8

S5. Ans.(c)
Sol.

S.No. Particular of item Units of measurement
1. Earthwork
2. Shutters of doors and windows
3. Concreting works
4. White, washing, pointing, DPC, painting, varnishing.
5. Cornice, plain pipe, rain water pipe. Running meter
6. Rivets, bolts, nuts, iron grills. Quintal

S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. The maximum safe-limits in domestic water supply are:
Chloride ≤ 250 mg/l
Nitrates ≤ 45 mg/l
Sulphates ≤ 200 mg/l
Fluorides ≤ 1.5 mg/l
