(a) 5, 15 respectively
(b) 5, 5 respectively
(c) 3, 5 respectively
(d) 3, 15 respectively

Q6. The ingredient of paint which gives it, the binding property and form opaque coating is:-
(a) Base
(b) Vehicle
(c) Solvent
(d) Filler

Solutions

S1. Ans.(b)
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.(d)
Sol. Annual rent (R) = 20,000
Year purchase (Y.P) = 100/(i%)
= 100/5
▭(Y.P=20)
Capitalized value = Annual rent × Year’s Purchase
= 20,000 × 20
= 400,000 Rs.

S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. In the first angle projection of presenting the six standard views, the top view is located below the front view and bottom view is located above the front view.

S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Goodrich’s formula is not used for determining the rate of fire demand.
Goodrich formula ▭(P=180 t^(-0.10) )
Where t = time in days
P = Percentage of annual average draft for the time t in days.

S5. Ans.(d)
Sol. the test result of the sample shall be average of the strength of 3 specimens. The individual variation should not be more than ± 15% of the average.

S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. Base → It is the principal compound in paint. It provides an opaque coating which would hide the surface to be painted. It possesses binding properties which reduces the shrinkage cracks in the film on drying.
Ex. Zinc oxide, iron oxide, red lead, aluminum powder, white lead etc.
