61. Answer: a
Explanation: speed=45/3.6
=12.5m/sec
Braking distance = u2/2gf
10=12.5*12.5/ (2*9.81*f)
F=0.78m.
62. Answer: b
Explanation: Given,
Mass of sand filling the calibrating container M’=450g
Volume of calibrating container V=1000cm3
∴Bulk density ρ=M’/V=1450/1000
ρ=1.45 g/cm3.
63. Answer: b
Explanation: Given,
Let the permeability of the three layers be k1, k2, and k3.
K1=k
K2=2k
K3=3k
And z1=z2=z3=5m
For flow parallel to the bedding plane,
Kx=k1z1+k2z2+⋯.+knzn / z
Kx=5k+10k+15k/15
∴ Kx=2k.
64. Answer: b
Explanation: The general equation is expressed as y=x2/a, where a=nw/2 for a pavement width of w
and cross slope of 1 in n.
65. Answer: a
Explanation: As elongation of a composite bar of two sections = P/E x (L1/A1 + L2/A2)
Putting L1, L2, A1 and A2 400mm2, 600mm2, 40mm2 and 30mm2 and P = 1000 and E = 200 x 103.
66. Answer: a
Explanation: Number of diffusers equals =flow/ flow rate per diffuser. Flow rate considered for coarse
diffusers are 10 m3/hr. Therefor number of diffusers= 535/10= 54.
67. Answer: a
Explanation: The formula for Simpson’s rule can be given as the sum of the two end ordinates plus
four times the sum of even intermediate ordinates plus twice the sum of odd intermediate ordinates,
the whole multiplied by one-third the common interval between them. This can be mathematically
expressed as,
Δ = (d/3)*((O0+On) + 4*(O1+O3+……..) + 2*(O2+O4+……….)).
68. Answer: a
Explanation: The constant K is equal to (f /i). It is called multiplying constant of the tacheometer and is
generally kept as 100. The constant C is equal to (f + c). It is called additive constant whose value
ranges from 30 cm to 50 cm for external focusing telescopes and 10 cm to 20 cm for internal focusing
telescopes.
69. Answer: b
Explanation: The value of length can be found out by using the formula,
D = m*l + Δ l. On substitution, we get
30 = 3*l + 8
L = 7.34 m.
70. Answer: b
Explanation: Maximum deflection occurs at free end distance between centre of gravity of bending
moment diagram and free end is x = 2l/3.
As deflection is equal to the slope × “x”. The slope = Wl2/2EI radians
Maximum deflection (y) = Ax/EI = Wl3/3EI.

71. Answer: b
Explanation: For cantilever beams with udl on entire span, the maximum deflection = wl 4/8EI
4
y = wl4/8EI = 25 × 3 / 8 × 4000 = 0.063m.

72. Answer: a
Explanation: b = 40cm = 400mm, t = 10mm, dh = 18mm
Net section area = 400×10 – 16×10 = 3820mm2 = 38.2 cm2.
73. Answer: d
Explanation: The section giving minimum area of plate is considered for design. So, section 1-5-7-6-3
is used for net area of flat.
74. Answer: b
Explanation: Width of pavement=7m
Rise of crown=7/2*1/50=7/100=0.07.
75. Answer: d
Explanation: This represents a series of depressions connected with shallow surface drains which are
in turn connected to lateral and main outlet drains. So, therefore this diagram represents a system of
random field drain system.
76. Answer: b
Explanation: Volume of water passing the drain in one day = (1/100 x 12 x 104) = 1200 m3/day
Volume of water passing the drain in one second = (1200/24 x 3600) = 1/72 m 3/sec
Q = 1/72 m3/sec
Q = 1/n x A x R2/3 x S1/2
A = πD2/4, P = πD, R = A/P = D/4
1/72 = (1/0.015) x (πD2/4) x (D/4) x (0.5/100)
On solving the value of D = 17.4 cm
Use D = 20 cm.
77. Answer: b
Explanation: The specific speed of a Pelton turbine ranges from 10 to 30. Francis turbine has a
specific speed between 60 to 300 and the specific speed of Kaplan and propeller turbine lies in
between 300 to 1000.
78. Answer: a
Explanation: The discharge over the weir without any velocity of approach is given by –
Q = C.L H3/2 where C = 1.66 when the width of rectangular crest > 0.9 m, L is the length of the weir
and H is the head of water over the weir.
Q = 1.66 x 55 x 1.2^3/2 = 120 cumecs.
79. Answer: d
Explanation: Approximately 1.52 m3 of dry concrete is required for 1 m3 of wet concrete. The quantity of
sand required for RCC (1:2:4) for 15 cubic metres of work is [2/(1+2+4)] x 1.52 x 15 m 3 i.e. 6.51 m3.
80. Answer: c
Explanation: For dams higher than 30 m, the top width (A) is given by the following formula-
A = 1.65 (H + 1.5)1/3 where H is the height of the dam.
A = 1.65 (50 + 1.5)1/3 = 6.13 m.
