Solutions
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. Crop rotation is the method of growing of crops one after another to improve the fertility of land and returning minerals to the soil.
S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. when telescope is rotated about vertical axis called swinging of theodolite. When theodolite moved rightward then its known as right swing & when left word then its known as left swing. Left word swing of theodolite is neglected because in left swing reading value increases clockwise.
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. Distemper is used to coat interior surface not exposed to weather. It is made with base as white chalk and thinner as water.
S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. shear reinforcement in RCC beam is provided to resist diagonal tension. Stirrups is provided in the beam for shear reinforcement. At corner spacing between stirrups decreases and increase towards centre.
S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. Diagonal tension reinforcement is provided in the form of-
– Vertical stirrups
– Inclined stirrups
– Bent up bars.
S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. Sensitivity=(undisturbed strength)/(remalded strength)
St=50/20
▭(St=2.5 )
S7. Ans.(c)
Sol. ▭(S+a_c=1)
S → degree of saturation
a_c → air content
S8. Ans.(c)
Sol. The process of applying cement mortar under pressure through a nozzle is called Guniting . The machine which is used for guniting is called cement gun. It apply a pressure of 2.5 kg/cm² – 3.5 kg/cm² through nozzle.
S9. Ans.(c)
Sol. There are some assumptions for Bernoulli’s theorem
(1) The flow is steady.
(2) The flow is incompressible.
(3) The flow is frictionless
(4) The flow continuous
(5) The flow should be irrotational or rotational along streamline.
S10. Ans.(a)
Sol. The allowable stress in a long column can be increased by increasing it’s radius of gyration and radius of gyration depends on moment of inertia.
R=√(I/A)
R- radius of gyration
I- Moment of Inertia
