Q3.Consider the following sentences: All benches are beds. No bed is a bulb. Some bulbs are lamps. Which of the following can be inferred? i. Some beds are lamps. ii. Some lamps are beds.
Answer : Option DExplaination / Solution:
Since there is no direct relation given between lamps and beds. So, neither will be correct
Q5. The accuracy of an Electronic Distance Measuring Instrument (EDMI) is specified as
± (a mm + b ppm). Which one of the following statements is correct?
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution:
Accuracy of EDMI is generally stated in terms of constant instrument error and measuring
error proportional to distance being measured.
± (a mm + b ppm)
The first part in this expression indicates a constant instrument error that is independent of
length of line measured. Second component is distance related error.
Q7.The laboratory test on a soil sample yields the following results: natural moisture content =
18%, liquid limit = 60%, plastic limit = 25%, percentage of clay sized fraction = 25%.
The liquidity index and activity (as per the expression proposed by skempton ) of the soil,
respectively, are
Q8.A 1 m wide rectangular channel has a bed slope of 0.0016 and the Manning’s roughness
coefficient is 0.04. Uniform flow takes place in the channel at a flow depth of 0.5 m. At a
particular section, gradually varied flow (GVF) is observed and the flow depth is measured as
0.6 m. The GVF profile at that section is classified as
Q10.The old concert hall was demolished because of fears that the foundation would be affected by
the construction tried to mitigate the impact of pressurized air pockets created by the excavation
of large amounts of soil. But even with these safeguards, it was feared that the soil below the
concert hall would not be stable.
From this, one can infer that
