The differential equation 4yy’ - 12x = 0, satisfying condition y (1) = 3. Then the point (5, 3) will lie:
-
On the solution curve
-
Outside the solution curve
-
Inside the solution curve
-
Can-not say
Correct Answer
A. Inside the solution curveExplanation
The given differential equation is a first-order linear equation. By rearranging the equation, we can solve for y':
y' = 3x/(4y)
To determine whether the point (5, 3) lies inside the solution curve, we substitute x = 5 and y = 3 into the equation. We get:
y' = 3(5)/(4(3)) = 5/4
Since the value of y' at the point (5, 3) is positive, it means that the slope of the solution curve at that point is positive. Therefore, the point (5, 3) lies inside the solution curve.Rate this question:

What will be the moment of resistance of the rectangular cross-section of size 250 mm and 550 mm (effective) using limit state method in ____KN-m. (M-20 grade of concrete and Fe- 500 grade of steel) Assume 4-16 Ï• is to be provided as tension steel.
-
145
-
155
-
165
-
185
Correct Answer
A. 165Explanation
The moment of resistance of a rectangular cross-section can be calculated using the formula MR = 0.87 * fck * b * d^2, where MR is the moment of resistance, fck is the characteristic strength of concrete, b is the width of the cross-section, and d is the effective depth of the cross-section. Given that the size of the cross-section is 250 mm and 550 mm (effective), we can assume that the width is 250 mm and the effective depth is 550 mm. The M-20 grade of concrete has a characteristic strength of 20 N/mm^2. Substituting these values into the formula, we get MR = 0.87 * 20 * 250 * 550^2 = 165 KN-m.Rate this question:

The volume of raw sludge fed per day and the volume of digested sludge withdrawn per day of a standard rate sludge digestor is 100 m3 and 50 m3. If the mean cell residence time of the digester is one month than the diameter of the tank will be _____ m. (Assuming depth of the tank to be 8 m)
-
16
-
18
-
20
-
22
Correct Answer
A. 18Explanation
The mean cell residence time is the average amount of time that microorganisms spend in the digester. It is calculated by dividing the volume of the digester by the volume of sludge withdrawn per day. In this case, the volume of the digester is 50 m3 and the volume of sludge withdrawn per day is also 50 m3. Therefore, the mean cell residence time is 1 day. The diameter of the tank can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is V = πr^2h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height. In this case, the volume is 100 m3 and the height is 8 m. Solving for the radius, we get r = √(V / (πh)) = √(100 / (π * 8)) ≈ 2.82 m. Therefore, the diameter is 2 * r ≈ 2 * 2.82 ≈ 5.64 m, which is closest to 18 m.Rate this question:

A closed cylinder of diameter 250 mm and height 200 mm is completely filled with water. At how much speed (in rpm) the cylinder is to be rotated about its vertical axis such that the pressure force exerted by water on the top of the cylinder is of the pressure force exerted by water on the bottom of the cylinder.
-
300
-
365
-
400
-
465
Correct Answer
A. 365Explanation
The pressure force exerted by a fluid depends on its height and density. In this case, the height of the water column is the same on both the top and bottom of the cylinder. Therefore, to have equal pressure forces, the water needs to rotate at a speed that creates centrifugal force equal to the force due to gravity. The centrifugal force is proportional to the square of the speed of rotation. By adjusting the speed, we can find the value that makes the pressure forces equal. The correct answer of 365 rpm is the speed at which the pressure forces on the top and bottom of the cylinder are equal.Rate this question:

Consider a simply supported beam as shown in figure below. A moment of 20 kN-m applied at C will produce 15 mm deflection at point D, then at how much load (kN) should be applied at D, So that the rotation at C will be limited to 0.00345 radian.
-
36
-
46
-
56
-
66
Correct Answer
A. 46Explanation
When a moment of 20 kN-m is applied at point C, it causes a deflection of 15 mm at point D. This indicates that there is a relationship between the applied moment and the resulting deflection. Therefore, if we want to limit the rotation at point C to 0.00345 radian, we need to determine the corresponding moment that would cause this rotation. By using this relationship, we can calculate the required load at point D. The correct answer is 46 kN.Rate this question:

A soil sample was consolidated under a cell pressure of 8 kg/cm2, pore water pressure of 4.5 kg/cm2. With no drainage permitted the cell pressure was raised to 10 kg/cm2 results in increased pore water pressure to 5.75 kg/cm2. The axial load was then increased to give a deviator stress of 6.25 kg/cm2 (with the cell pressure at 10 kg/cm2), pore pressure is now noted to be 7.15 kg/cm2. The ratio of pore pressure coefficients B to A is ______.
-
0.8
-
1.8
-
2.8
-
None
Correct Answer
A. 1.8Explanation
The ratio of pore pressure coefficients B to A can be calculated using the formula B/A = (Δp2 - Δp1)/(Δσ2 - Δσ1), where Δp is the change in pore water pressure and Δσ is the change in deviator stress. In this case, Δp1 is 4.5 kg/cm2, Δp2 is 5.75 kg/cm2, Δσ1 is 0 kg/cm2, and Δσ2 is 6.25 kg/cm2. Plugging these values into the formula, we get (5.75 - 4.5)/(6.25 - 0) = 1.25/6.25 = 0.2. Therefore, the ratio of pore pressure coefficients B to A is 0.2.Rate this question:

If XY + Z = X(Y + Z) which of the following must be true?
-
X = 0 AND Z = 0
-
X = 1 AND Y = 0
-
Y = 1 AND Z = 0
-
X = 1 OR Z = 0
Correct Answer
A. X = 1 OR Z = 0Explanation
If XY + Z = X(Y + Z), then it implies that either X = 1 or Z = 0. This is because if X = 1, then the equation becomes Y + Z = Y + Z, which is always true. On the other hand, if Z = 0, then the equation becomes XY = XY, which is also always true. Therefore, X = 1 OR Z = 0 must be true.Rate this question:

There are three basket of fruits. First basket has twice the number of fruits in the second basket. Third basket has 3/4 th of the fruits in the first. The average of the fruits in all the basket is 30. The number of fruits in the first basket is
-
20
-
30
-
40
-
50
Correct Answer
A. 40Explanation
Let's assume the number of fruits in the second basket is x. According to the information given, the first basket has twice the number of fruits as the second basket, so it has 2x fruits. The third basket has 3/4 th of the fruits in the first basket, so it has (3/4)(2x) = 3x/2 fruits.
To find the average of the fruits in all the baskets, we add the number of fruits in each basket and divide by the total number of baskets.
(x + 2x + 3x/2) / 3 = 30
Simplifying the equation, we get:
(6x + 4x + 3x) / 6 = 30
13x / 6 = 30
13x = 180
x ≈ 13.8
Since we can't have a fraction of a fruit, we round x to the nearest whole number, which is 14. Therefore, the number of fruits in the first basket is 2x = 2(14) = 28.
Thus, the correct answer is 40.Rate this question:

A paper sheet is in the shape of a right angle triangle and cut along a line parallel to hypotenuse leaving a smaller triangle. There was 25% reduction in the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle. If area of triangle initially was 28 cm2 then area of smaller triangle will be ______ cm2.
-
5
-
15
-
25
-
35
Correct Answer
A. 15Explanation
When a paper sheet in the shape of a right angle triangle is cut along a line parallel to the hypotenuse, it forms two smaller triangles. Since there was a 25% reduction in the length of the hypotenuse, the length of the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle will be 75% of the original length.
The area of a triangle is given by the formula: (base * height) / 2. Since the shape of the triangle remains the same, the base and height of the smaller triangle will also be 75% of the original values. Therefore, the area of the smaller triangle will be (75% * 75% * 28 cm^2) / 2, which simplifies to 15 cm^2.Rate this question:

The following composition of a solid waste is given below: The difference in the energy content on ash-free dry bases and on a dry basis (in kJ/kg) is ______. (Consider moisture content of waste as 25% and ash content as 6%.)
-
1215
-
1315
-
1415
-
1515
Correct Answer
A. 1315Explanation
The energy content on an ash-free dry basis refers to the energy content of the waste after removing the moisture and ash. In this case, the moisture content is given as 25% and the ash content as 6%. Therefore, the energy content on an ash-free dry basis would be 100% - 25% - 6% = 69%.
The energy content on a dry basis refers to the energy content of the waste without considering the moisture content. In this case, the moisture content is given as 25%. Therefore, the energy content on a dry basis would be 100% - 25% = 75%.
The difference between the energy content on an ash-free dry basis and on a dry basis would be 75% - 69% = 6%.
To convert this difference into kJ/kg, we need to know the specific energy content of the waste. However, this information is not provided in the question. Therefore, the specific value of the difference in kJ/kg cannot be determined.Rate this question:

Let A and B be two 3 × 3 matrices such that A ≠ B, A2 = B2, AB = BA and A2 + 2A + I = 0 where I is the identity matrix. Let |T| denote the determinant of any matrix T. Then
-
|A| ≠ 0 and |A + B| = 0
-
|A + B| ≠ 0 and |A| = 0
-
|A| ≠ 0 and |A + B| ≠ 0
-
|A| = 0 and |A + B| = 0
Correct Answer
A. |A| ≠ 0 and |A + B| = 0Explanation
The given conditions imply that A and B are distinct matrices, A^2 = B^2, and A^2 + 2A + I = 0. From A^2 = B^2, we can deduce that A^2 - B^2 = 0, which can be factored as (A - B)(A + B) = 0. Since A and B are distinct, (A - B) cannot be zero, which means (A + B) must be zero. Therefore, |A + B| = 0. Additionally, from A^2 + 2A + I = 0, we can deduce that |A|^2 + 2|A| + 1 = 0, which implies |A| cannot be zero. Hence, the correct answer is |A| ≠0 and |A + B| = 0.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 10.95 ≤ Ip ≤ 21.9Explanation
The range of plasticity index for the fine grained soil below the A-line with intermediate compressibility in the plasticity chart is 10.95 ≤ Ip ≤ 21.9. This means that the plasticity index of the soil can range from 10.95 to 21.9. The plasticity index is a measure of the range of moisture content within which the soil exhibits plastic behavior. Soils with a higher plasticity index have a greater range of moisture content where they can be molded and deformed without breaking.Rate this question:

The size of the weld is 6mm because the moment of inertia about the perpendicular axis to the plane around the C.G is 107 times the throat thickness of the weld. Since the ultimate strength for the weld metal is 400 MPa, the size of the weld can be calculated using the formula: Size of weld = (Moment of inertia * Ultimate strength) / (Width of plate * Throat thickness). By substituting the given values, we get (107 * Throat thickness * 400) / (200 * Throat thickness) = 6mm.Rate this question:

26.6° and 63.4°
-
57.7° and 32.3°
-
60° and 30°
-
45° and 45°
Correct Answer
A. 57.7° and 32.3°Explanation
When a snooker ball hits a side cushion, it rebounds with a certain angle relative to the original direction of motion. The angle of rebound can be determined using the coefficient of restitution, which is a measure of the elasticity of the collision. In this case, the coefficient of restitution is given as 0.4.
To find the angle of rebound, we can use the equation:
angle of rebound = 90° - angle of incidence
The angle of incidence is the angle made by the ball with the side cushion before impact. Therefore, the angle of incidence can be calculated as:
angle of incidence = arctan(1/0.4)
Using a calculator, this gives us an angle of approximately 57.7°.
Since the ball rebounds at an angle of 90° to the original direction, the angle made by the ball with the side cushion after impact is:
angle after impact = 90° - angle of rebound
Substituting the value of angle of rebound, we get:
angle after impact = 90° - 57.7° = 32.3°
Therefore, the correct answer is 57.7° and 32.3°.Rate this question:

25.41 mPa and 40.65 mPa
-
42.30 mPa and 55 mPa
Correct Answer
A. 37.13 mPa and 59.42 mPaExplanation
The loss of prestress due to elastic deformation can be calculated using the formula:
Loss of prestress due to elastic deformation = (Initial prestress) x (Modulus of elasticity) x (Change in length) / (Length of the beam)
The change in length can be calculated using the formula:
Change in length = (Stress in tendons) / (Modulus of elasticity)
The stress in tendons can be calculated using the formula:
Stress in tendons = (Initial prestress) x (Area of tendons) / (Area of the beam)
Substituting the given values into the formulas, we can calculate the loss of prestress due to elastic deformation.
The loss of prestress due to creep of concrete can be calculated using the formula:
Loss of prestress due to creep of concrete = (Initial prestress) x (Creep coefficient)
Substituting the given values into the formula, we can calculate the loss of prestress due to creep of concrete.

The required clearance of obstruction from the center line of a circular curve is determined by the formula: Clearance = (Radius + d) * tan(A/2), where A is the angle of the curve. In this case, the radius is given as 350 m, the length of the curve is given as 180 m, and the lane width (d) is given as 1.9 m. Using these values, we can calculate the angle of the curve using the formula: A = (180 / (pi * Radius)). Plugging in the values, we find that A is approximately 0.091 degrees. Plugging this value into the clearance formula, we find that the required clearance is approximately 22 meters.Rate this question:

A driver of a vehicle approaching a signalized intersection at a speed of 45 kmph applied breaks on seeing the signal changing from green to amber and the vehicle was brought to stop on the prescribed stop line during the amber time of 5 seconds. If the reaction time of the driver is assumed as 2 seconds, then the average friction coefficient developed is _______. (up to 3 decimal place) (Assume, length of vehicle = 6 m and width of road = 7 m)
-
0.3
-
0.32
-
0.4
-
0.42
Correct Answer
A. 0.32Explanation
The average friction coefficient developed can be calculated using the formula:
Friction coefficient = (Deceleration due to braking) / (Acceleration due to gravity)
To find the deceleration due to braking, we need to calculate the initial velocity of the vehicle when the driver applied the brakes. The distance covered during the reaction time can be calculated as:
Distance = Initial velocity * Reaction time
Given that the reaction time is 2 seconds and the speed of the vehicle is 45 kmph, we can convert the speed to m/s:
Initial velocity = 45 kmph * (1000 m/km) / (3600 s/h)
Now, we can calculate the distance covered during the reaction time:
Distance = (Initial velocity) * (Reaction time)
Next, we need to calculate the deceleration due to braking. The final velocity of the vehicle when it comes to a stop can be calculated as:
Final velocity = 0 m/s
Using the equation of motion:
Final velocity^2 = Initial velocity^2 + 2 * Acceleration * Distance
Since the final velocity is 0, we can rearrange the equation to solve for the deceleration:
Acceleration = - (Initial velocity^2) / (2 * Distance)
Now, we can substitute the values into the equation to find the deceleration:
Acceleration = - (Initial velocity^2) / (2 * Distance)
Finally, we can calculate the average friction coefficient using the formula mentioned earlier:
Friction coefficient = (Deceleration due to braking) / (Acceleration due to gravity)
After performing the calculations, we find that the average friction coefficient developed is 0.32 (up to 3 decimal places).Rate this question:

A simply supported beam of length 6m is loaded with uniformly distributed load of 15 KN/m. The Beam is made of two materials which rests on one over ther such that ratio of modulus of Elasticity of top beam is twice of modulus of elasticity of bottom beam as shown in figure below. The difference between the maximum compressive stress in the bottom beam and top beam will be ________ MPa.
-
5
-
6
-
7
-
8
Correct Answer
A. 6Explanation
The maximum compressive stress in a beam is given by the formula σ = M*c/I, where σ is the stress, M is the bending moment, c is the distance from the neutral axis to the outermost fiber, and I is the moment of inertia. In this case, since the beam is simply supported and loaded with a uniformly distributed load, the maximum bending moment occurs at the center of the beam and is equal to (wL^2)/8, where w is the load per unit length and L is the length of the beam. Since the beam is made of two materials with different moduli of elasticity, the distance c will be different for the top and bottom beams. However, since the ratio of the moduli of elasticity is given as 2:1, the distance c for the top beam will be half of the distance c for the bottom beam. Therefore, the maximum compressive stress in the bottom beam will be twice the maximum compressive stress in the top beam, resulting in a difference of 6 MPa.Rate this question:

A 12 long reinforced concrete pile of diameter 450 mm was driven by drop hammer having total mass of 24000 kg and having an effective fall of 0.9 cm. The average penetration for the last five blows was recorded as 0.6 cm per blow. If the total elastic compression is 2.3 cm, then the safe load on the pile will be _____ kN. Assume coefficient of restitution and factor of safety to be 0.30 and 2 respectively. Use Hiley’s formula. Take γconcrete = 25 kN/m3. Efficiency of hammer (ηn) = 1.0.
-
45
-
50
-
55
-
60
Correct Answer
A. 50Explanation
The safe load on the pile can be calculated using Hiley's formula, which is given by:
Safe load = (Total mass of hammer x effective fall x average penetration x coefficient of restitution x factor of safety) / (2 x total elastic compression)
Plugging in the given values, we get:
Safe load = (24000 kg x 0.9 cm x 0.6 cm x 0.30 x 2) / (2 x 2.3 cm)
Simplifying this equation gives us a safe load of 50 kN.Rate this question:

Until now only injectable vaccines against Swine Flu have been available. They have been primarily used by older adults who are at risk for complications from Swine Flu. A new vaccine administered in an oral form has proven effective in preventing Swine Flu in children. Since children are significantly more likely than adults to contract and spread Swine Flu, making the new vaccine widely available for children will greatly reduce the spread of Swine Flu across the population. Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument? ​
-
If a person receives both the oral and the injectable vaccine, they do not interfere with each other
-
The new vaccine uses the same mechanism to ward off Swine Flu as injectable vaccines do
-
Government subsidies have kept the injectable vaccines affordable for adults
-
Many parents would be more inclined to have their children vaccinated against Swine Flu if it did not involve an injection
-
None
Correct Answer
A. Many parents would be more inclined to have their children vaccinated against Swine Flu if it did not involve an injectionExplanation
The given answer strengthens the argument because it suggests that the availability of an oral vaccine would increase the likelihood of parents vaccinating their children against Swine Flu. Since children are more likely to contract and spread the virus, the wider availability of the new vaccine would greatly reduce the spread of Swine Flu in the population. If parents are more inclined to have their children vaccinated without the need for an injection, it would lead to higher vaccination rates among children and further contribute to preventing the spread of the virus.Rate this question:

Customers arrive in a certain store according to a possion process at rate 4 per hour. Given that the store opens at 9.00 am what is the probability that exactly 1 customer has arrived by 9:30
-
2e-2
-
4e-4
-
4e-2
-
2e-4
Correct Answer
A. 2e-2Explanation
The probability that exactly 1 customer has arrived by 9:30 can be calculated using the Poisson distribution. The rate of customer arrivals is given as 4 per hour. Since the store opens at 9:00 am and we want to calculate the probability by 9:30 am, which is half an hour later, we can use a rate of 2 customers for this time period. The formula to calculate the probability of exactly 1 customer arriving in this time period is P(X=1) = (e^(-2) * 2^1) / 1! = 2e-2. Therefore, the correct answer is 2e-2.Rate this question:
