(a) 200 mg/l
(b) 600 mg/l
(c) 100 mg/l
(d) 500 mg/l

Solutions

S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. Hard wood → These woods are dark in colour and heavier in weight. ex. Sal, teak, shishum and other deciduous tree.
Soft wood → These woods are lighter in colour and weight. Ex willow, sandle, chir, deodar, pine and other conifers trees.

S2. Ans. (d)
Sol. Diameter = 1 mm
Surface tension of water at 20° C = 0.075 N/m
For water θ = 0
Capillary rise (h) = (4 σ cos⁡θ)/(γ_w d )
= (4 × 0 .075 ×cos 0 )/(1000 ×10 ×1 × 10^(-3) )
= 0.03 m
▭(h = 30 mm)

S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. Bending moment equation
M/I=σ/y=E/R
Here,
M = bending moment
I = moment of inertia
σ = bending stress
y = distance from neutral axis
E = modulus of elasticity
R = Radius of curvature

S4. Ans.(d)
Sol.
D_60=4mm
D_30=2mm
D_10=0.5mm
Coefficient of uniformity (C_u )=D_60/D_10
=4/0.5
=8

S5. Ans.(c)
Sol.

S.No.	Particular of item	Units of measurement
1.	Earthwork	m³
2.	Shutters of doors and windows	m³
3.	Concreting works	m³
4.	White, washing, pointing, DPC, painting, varnishing.	m²
5.	Cornice, plain pipe, rain water pipe.	Running meter
6.	Rivets, bolts, nuts, iron grills.	Quintal

S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. The maximum safe-limits in domestic water supply are:
Chloride ≤ 250 mg/l
Nitrates ≤ 45 mg/l
Sulphates ≤ 200 mg/l
Fluorides ≤ 1.5 mg/l
