Solutions
S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. Defects in bricks-
Efflorescence→ This defect appears in bricks due to the presence of alkalis in the bricks.
Chuffs → This is the defect in bricks in which shape of the bricks gets deformed due to rain water falling on hot brick.
Bloating → Bloating of bricks is swollen spongy mass over the surface of burned bricks.
Black core→ The brick converts in black core because of improper burning.
S2. 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
S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. Given, BM = 500.00 m. (R.L)
BS = 3.415 m
FS at point A = 2.125 m.
RL of point A = ?
H.I = RL of BM + BS
= 500 + 3.415
= 503.415 m.
R.L at point ‘A’ = H.I – FS
= 503.415 – 2.125
= 501.290 m.
S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. The rate of filtration for slow sand filters is 2400 to 4800 l/day/m² or 100 to 200 l/hour/m².
S5. Ans. (c)
Sol. Velocity (V₁) = C_v √2gh
C_v ⇒ coefficient of velocity
C_v ⇒ 0.97 – 0.99
S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. Slabs spanning in one direction (one way slab)
l/d=30
Slabs spanning in two directions (two-way slab)
l/d<35 (simply supported)
l/d≤40 (continous)
