Q1. The “Plane section remain plane” assumption in bending theory implies
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q2. Two steel column P (length L and yield strength fy = 250MPa) and Q (length 2L and yield strength fy = 500MPa) have the same cross-section and end condition. The ratio of buckling load of column P to that of column Q is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Buckling load,


Q3. Maximum possible value of compaction factor for fresh (green) concrete is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q4. Friendship, No matter how ____________ it is, has its limitation
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Friendship, No matter how intimate it is, has its limitation. Intimate refers to close personal relations, e.g. an intimate friend. It is also characterized by or involving warm friendship or a personally close or familiar association or feeling.

Q5. Beam subjected to moving distributed load of 4 kN/m maximum shear force that can occur just to right of Q is 

Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

When a cut is made just to the right of Q and displacements are given such that A’B’ is parallel to B’C’, as B’ is very close to Q, displacement of B’ to the left will be zero and that to the right will be 1. 

Hence slope of B'C' = 1/20 ⇒ Slope of B'A ' = (1/20)×5 = 0.25
ordinate at A ' = (1/20)×5 = 0.25; ordinate at D' = (1/20)×5 = 0.25
If udl is loading span PR, we get maximum SF just to the right of Q 
⇒ SF = ((1/2)×0.25×10+(1/2)×20×1)×4 = 45 kN

Q6. A number much greater than 75 and smaller than 117 is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q7. A firm is selling it product at Rs. 60/unit. The total cost of production is Rs. 100 and firm is earning total profit of Rs. 500. Later, the total cost increased by 30%. By what percentage the price should be increased to maintain the same profit level
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q8. Abhishek is elder to Savan, Savan is younger to Anshul. The correct relations is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Q9.                                                     2010      2011
Raw material                               5200      6240 
Power & fuel                                7000      9450 
Salary & wages                           9000      12600 
Plants & machinery                     20000     25000 
Advertising                                  15000     19500 
Research & development            22000     26400 
Which one of the following increased by same percentage in year 2010-2011?
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

% increase in raw material = ((6240 - 5200)/5200)×100 = 20%
% increase research and development = ((26400 - 22000)/22000)×100 = 20%
