Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
Q2. Group I enlists in-situ field tests carried out for soil exploration, while Group II provides a list
of parameters for sub-soil strength characterization. Match the type of tests with the
characterization parameters
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
Q3. A plane flow has velocity components u = 1/T1, v = -y/T2 and w = 0 and x, y and z directions
respectively, where T1 (≠0) and T2 (≠0) are constants having the dimensions of time. The
given flow is incompressible if
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
Q4. Group I lists a few devices while Group II provides information about their uses. Match the
devices with their corresponding use.
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
Aneometer → wind speed
Hygrometer → water vapour content of air
Pilot tube → flow velocity at a specific point in the flow stream
Tensionmeter → Capillary potential of soil water
Q5. A venturimeter having a throat diameter of 0.1 m is used to estimate the flow rate of a
horizontal pipe having a diameter of 0.2 m. For an observed pressure difference of 2 m of
water head and coefficient of discharge equal to unity, assuming that the energy losses are
negligible, the flow rate (in m3 /s) through the pipe is approximately equal to
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
Q6. With reference to a standard Cartesian (x, y) plane, the parabolic velocity distribution profile
of fully developed laminar flow in x-direction between two parallel, stationary and identical
plates that are separated by distance, h, is given by the expression
In this equation, the y = 0 axis lies equidistant between the plates at a distance h/2 from the
two plates, p is the pressure variable and µ is the dynamic viscosity term. The maximum and
average velocities are, respectively
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
Q7. A waste water stream (flow = 2 m3 /s, ultimate BOD = 90 mg/l) is joining a small river (flow
= 12 m3 /s, ultimate BOD = 5 mg/l). Both water streams get mixed up instantaneously. Crosssectional
area of the river is 50 m2 . Assuming the de-oxygenation rate constant, k' = 0.25/day,
the BOD (in mg/l) of the river water, 10 km downstream of the mixing point is
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
Q8. Which of the following options is the closest in meaning to the sentence below?
“As a woman, I have no country.”
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
Q9. Group I contains representative stress-strain curves as shown in the figure, while Group II
gives the list of materials. Match the stress-strain curves with the corresponding materials.
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
Q10. The first moment of area about the axis of bending for a beam cross-section is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
Section mod ulus, z = 1/r = A.r2/r = A.r, i.e. Moment of Area.
