(a) 93/p
(b) 140/p
(c) 210/p
(d) 280/p

(a) Zone of degradation
(b) Zone of active decomposition
(c) Zone of recovery
(d) Zone of clear water

(a) AI=(PET-AET)/PET×100
(b) AI=PET/AET×100
(c) AI=AET/PET×100
(d) AI=(AET-PET)/AET×100
(where AET = Actual Evapotranspiration and PET = Potential Evapotranspiration)

(a) 10%
(b) 30%
(c) 50%
(d) 70%

Q6. The maximum depth of neutral axis in a RC beam for Fe 415 grade of steel is:
(a) 0.53d
(b) 0.46d
(c) 0.67d
(d) 0.48d

Solutions

S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. C = 30 cm/sec²
= 0.30 m/sec²
R = 200 m.
V = 14 m/sec.
Length of transition curve (L) = V^3/(C.R)
= (14)^3/(0.3×200)
= 45.7 m.
= 46 m.

S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. modular ratio (m) =280/3σcbc
▭(σcbc=p)
M=280/3p
▭(m=93/p)

S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. There are four zones are formed when waste water is disposed off into a running stream
1. Zone of degradation
2. Zone of active decomposition
3. Zone of recovery
4. Zone of clear water
In zone of active decomposition water is more dark and more turbid and dissolved oxygen may go up to zero.

S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. ▭(Aridity Index (AI)=(PET-AET)/PET×100)
Where, AET = Actual Evapotranspiration
PET = Potential Evapotranspiration

S5. Ans.(b)
Sol.
Specific gravity (G)=2.60
Void ratio (e)=0.78
Water content (w)=?
Fully saturated i.e. S=1
se=wG
1×0.78=w×2.60
▭(w=30%)

S6. Ans.(d)
Sol.
