Q1. A super-elevation e is provided on a circular horizontal curve such that a vehicle can be
stopped on the curve without sliding. Assuming a design speed v and maximum coefficient of
side friction fmax, which one of the following criteria should be satisfied?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
Q2. The observed bearings of a traverse are given below:
The stations(s) most likely to be affected by the local attraction is/are
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
So, local attraction at only R
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 D
Explaination / Solution:
Since there is no direct relation given between lamps and beds. So, neither will be correct
Q4. The figure shows a two-hinged parabolic arch of span L subjected to a uniformly distributed load of intensity q per unit length.
The maximum bending moment in the arch is equal to
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
Bending moment at any point for two-hinged parabolic arch with uniformly distributed load is zero.
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 B
Explaination / 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.
Q6. Group I contains three broad classes of irrigation supply canal outlets. Group II presents
hydraulic performance attributes.
The correct match of the items in Group I with the items in Group II is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
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
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
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
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
Q9. __________ with someone else’s email account is now very serious offence.
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
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
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
