Q.1 Consider the following statements:
Ask an Expert 1. Arithmetic increase method gives lowest value of population forecasting. Hence it is
suitable for old cities.
2. Geometric increase method gives highest value of population forecasting. Hence it
is suitable for new cities.
Which of the following statement(s) is(are) CORRECT?
a. 1 only
b. 2 only
c. 1 and 2 both
d. None of these
Solution. 1
(c)
Q.2 If the length, width and depth of a sedimentation tank increases to four, three and two
times respectively, while the rate of filtration remains unchanged, the amount of
filtered water would become
a. 12 times
b. 8 times
c. 6 times
d. unchanged
Solution. 2
(a)
Rate of filtreration depends on filter area i.e. length × width. So, the new filter area
becomes (4l × 3b) i.e. 12 times more than original area. So, amount of filtered water
would become 12 times.
Q.3 If total hardness and alkalinity of water sample are 210 mg/l and 280 mg/l as CaCO3
respectively, what are the values of carbonate hardness and non-carbonate hardness?
Solution. 3
(a)
a. 1 and 2
b. 2 and 3
c. 1 and 3
d. 1, 2 and 3
Solution. 4
(a)
During water supply, temperature should be maintained between 10 to 25°C.
Q.5 A water treatment plant, having discharge 2 m3/sec, has 22 filters to treat the water.
Each filter is having 60 m2 area, but due to back washing activity, 4 filters are non
Solution. 5
160
Total operational filter available for water treatment = 22 – 4 = 18
Q.6 An air parcel having 43°C temperature goes up from ground level to 1500 m elevation
in saturated air following the “wet adiabatic lapse rate”. The resulting temperature of
air parcel at 1500 m elevation will be ____________ °C.
Solution. 6
34
Q.7 If the average daily water consumption of a city was 36000 m3/day, then the peak
Solution. 7
4050
Q.8 Dust has particles with migration velocity of 0.30 m/s. For a total air flow of 75 m3/s, the
a. 4
b. 6
c. 8
d. 10
Solution. 8
(c)
Q.9 For a sample of water, the ionic composition is shown in figure below. The carbonate
and non-carbonate hardness concentration (in mg/l as CaCO3) respectively are
Solution. 9
(a)
Q.10 Two sources generate noise levels of 86 dB and 82 dB. The cumulative effect of these
two noise levels on the human ear is
a. 84.23 dB
b. 87.46 dB
c. 88.23 dB
d. 89 dB
Solution. 10
(b)
a. 1 and 2
b. 2 and 3
c. 1 and 3
d. 1 only
Solution. 11
(d)
2. Particulates are the deadliest form of air pollution due to their ability to penetrate
deep into the lungs and blood streams unfiltered, causing permanent DNA mutations,
heart attack and premature death.
3. Due to environmental concerns, most industries are required to operate some kind
of dust collection system to control particulate emission like cyclonic separators,
fabric filter collectors and electrostatic precipitator etc.
Which of the above statement/s is/are INCORRECT?
a. 1 only
b. 1 and 2 only
c. 3 only
d. 1 and 3 only
Solution. 12
(a)
Q.13 The pH of water admitted into a treatment plant was 5.0 in the morning. Consequent to
inflow of raw water from a different source, it changed to 7.0 in the next few hours.
Assuming linear variation of hydrogen concentration with time, the time mean pH value
of the water over this 24 hour is __________.
Solution. 13
Q.14 A bag house filter has 24 compartments, 340 bags per compartment and each bag has
diameter 12 m and bag length 25 m, with gas flow rate of 1250000 m3/min. The air to
cloth ratio will be ___________.
Solution. 14
Q.15 If the specific gravity of a suspended particle is increased from 2 to 3 by reducing the
50% size of particle, then settling velocity will be decreased by _____________ time.
Solution. 15
0.5
Q.16 A well of diameter 25 cm fully penetrates a confined aquifer. After a long period of
pumping at a rate of 55 l/sec, the observations of drawdown taken at 12 m and 120 m
distances from the centre of the well are found to be 3.5 m and 0.75 m respectively. The
