SOLUTION

S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. ▭(Concident draft=maximum daily demand+fire demand)

S2. Ans.(d)
Sol. Reinforcement of R.C.C. works measured in terms of per quintal.

S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. The discharge per unit draw down at a well is known as specific capacity.

S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. the surface parallel to earth surface in known as level surface. And tangent to any point of level surface is horizontal surface.

S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. Creep is the property of a specimen undergoes additional deformation with the passage of time under sustained loading within elastic limit. It’s can not be recover hence plastic in nature.

S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. in simply supported slab, alternate bars are curtailed at [span/7]

S7. Ans.(d)
Sol. D_10 is termed as the effective particle size it means that 10 percent of the particle are finer and the 90% of the particles are coarser than that particular particle size D_10.

S8. Ans.(a)
Sol. We know that (stoke is the unit of kinematic viscosity)
1 stoke = 10^(-4) m²/sec
1 stoke = 10^(-4)×10^4 (cm^2)/sec
1 stoke = 1 cm²/sec

S9. Ans.(a)
Sol. Soling → it is the bottom most layer of dry stone or dry brick of any structure when soil is soft. It is measured in m² (Area).

S10. Ans.(d)
Sol. The travel time per unit length of road is inversely proportional to the speed.
