SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. when strain in steel & strain in concrete reach their ultimate value simultaneously then Neutral axis is said to be critical (Balance section).
S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. ▭(Modular Ratio (m)=280/(3σ_cbc ))
σ_cbc = Permissible stress in concrete in bending compression.
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. The woodworks should be measured nearest up to 0.002m or 2 mm.
S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Evapotranspiration is a combine process of evaporation and plant transpiration.
Evapotranspiration is measured by-
- Field plot
- Lysimeter
- Penman’s equation
- Blaney-criddle equation
S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. For defluoridation activated alumina and bone char can be used. In Nalgonda technique alum is added to lime or soda mixed water. Lime or soda ensure adequate alkalinity. This technique involves precipitation, settling and filtration.
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. We know that, μ=(3K-2G)/(6K+2G)
But here, K = G,
∴ μ=(3-2)/(6+2)=1/8 = 0.125
S7. Ans.(b)
Sol. Percentage of various ingredient in a good brick earth is as follow
| S. no. | Raw Material | Function |
| 1. | Silica (50-60)% | Imparts strength, hardness and uniform shape and size. |
| 2. | Alumina (20-30) % | Imparts plasticity to brick. |
| 3. | Lime (<5%) | Help in fusion of materials and binding particles together. |
| 4. | Iron oxide
(5-6%) |
Provide red colour and improves impermeability and durability. |
| 5. | Magnesia(<1%) | Imparts yellow tint to bricks. |
S8. Ans.(a)
Sol. concave lens is used in internal focusing type telescope.
S9. Ans.(c)
Sol. By Bending equation
M/I=σ/y=E/R
M/I=E/R
M/EI=1/R
Curvature = 1/R
S10. Ans.(a)
Sol. It is defined as-
Cohesion – an attractive force between same kind of fluid molecules.
Adhesion – an attractive force between different kind of fluid molecules.
