Q6. The R.F. for 2 cm to a meter is –
(a) 1/100
(b) 1/20

(d) 1/10

Solutions

S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. True length of line (L) = 300 m
Measured length of line (L’) = 300.90 m
Length of tape (l) = 30 m.
True length of tape (l’) =?
L × l = L’ × l’
300 × 30 = 300.9 × l’
l^’=(300×30)/300.9
▭(l^’=29.91m)

S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. Built up area = 350 m²
Courtyard area = 5.5 × 6.5 m² = 35.75 m²
Plinth area = 350 – 35.75 = 314.25 m²

S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. Burls → these are the uneven projections on the body of the tree during its growth. These are mainly due to effects of injuries and shocks during its young age.

S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Isotropic → A material is said to be isotropic when it has same properties in all direction.
Anisotropic → A material is said to be anisotropic when it has different properties in all direction.
Homogenous → Same property at each cross-section.
Orthotropic → Different property in three mutually perpendicular direction.

S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. In limit state method.
Partial safety factor for RCC = 1.5
Partial safety factor for steel = 1.15
In working state method.
Partial safety factor for R.C.C. = 3
Partial safety factor for steel = 1.78

S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. Representative fraction (R.F) = 2cm/1m
=2cm/100cm
▭(R.F.=1/50)
