GENERAL APTITUDE
Q.1 A three-member committee has to be formed from a group of 9 people. How many such
distinct committees can be formed?
(a) 27 (b) 72
(c) 81 (d) 84
Ans. (d)
9! 9× 8× 7
9
C3 = = = 84
6! × 3! 6
Q.2 “His face _________ with joy when the solution of the puzzle was ________ to him.”
The words that best fill the blanks in the above sentence are
(a) shone, shown (b) shone, shone
(c) shown, shone (d) shown, shown
Ans. (a)
Shone - It is past - participle and past form of shine.
Shown - To show means to reveal and point out something.
Q.3 For non-negative integers, a, b, c, what would be the value of a + b + c if log a + log
b + log c = 0?
(a) 3 (b) 1
(c) 0 (d) –1
Ans. (a)
As a, b, c are non-negative integers and given log a + log b + log c = 0
log(a × b × c) = log 1
⇒ a×b×c=1
Which can be possible for simple values.
a=b = c = 1
Hence a + b + c=1 + 1 + 1 = 3
Alternate Method:
Given,
log a + log b + log c = 0
As we know log 1 = 0, so each one of them can be zero if a = b = c = 1
log 1 + log 1 + log 1 = 0
By putting a = b = 1 equation satisfies
a + b + c=1 + 1 + 1 = 3

Q.4 “Although it does contain some pioneering ideas, one would hardly characterize the work
as _________.”
The word that best fills the blank in the above sentence is
(a) innovative (b) simple
(c) dull (d) boring
Ans. (a)
Innovative is similar to poineer.
Q.5 + a + a + ... + a = a2b and b

a + b + b + ... + b = ab2 , where a, b, n and m are natural

n times m times
(
m + m + m + ... + m n

n + ... + n ?
m times )
(a) 2a2b2 (b) a4b4
(c) ab(a + b) (d) a2 + b2
Ans. (b)
+ a + a + ... + a = na = a2b
a
n times
⇒ n = ab ...(i)
b + b + b + ... + b = mb = b2a

m times
⇒ m = ab ...(ii)
[m + m
+ ...... + m] × [
n + n +
...... + n]
So,
n times m times
i.e., mn × mn = (mn)2
from (i) and (ii) mn = a 2 b 2
So, result, (mn)2 = (a 2 b 2 ) = a 4b 4
Q.6 In manufacturing industries, loss is usually taken to be proportional to the square of the
deviation from a target. If the loss is Rs. 4900 for a deviation of 7 units, what would
be the loss in Rupees for a deviation of 4 units from the target?
(a) 400 (b) 1200
(c) 1600 (d) 2800
Ans. (c)
Loss = kd 2 For duration of 7 units
4900 = k (7)2 ⇒ k = 100
Loss = kd 2 For duration of 4 units
= k (4) ⇒ 16 k = 1600

Q.10 A faulty wall clock is known to gain 15 minutes every 24 hours. It is synchronized to
the correct time at 9 AM on 11th July. What will be the correct time to the nearest minute
when the clock shows 2 PM on 15th July of the same year?
11-02-2018 | Shift-2
(a) 12:45 PM (b) 12:58 PM

(c) 1:00 PM (d) 2:00 PM
Ans. (b)
9 Am of 11 July of 2 PM on 15th July = 101 hours
⎛ 15 ⎞
⎜ 24 + 60 ⎟ hours of incorrect clock = 24 hours of correct clock

⎛ 15 ⎞
⎜ 24 + 60 ⎟ hours of IC = 24 hours of correct clock
⎝ ⎠

1 hour of IC = hours of correct clock

96
101 hour of IC = × 101 hours of correct clock

= 99.958 hours of correct clock
= 99 hours + 0.95876 × 60 minutes of correct clock
= 99 hours + 57.525 minutes
= 99 hours and approx 58 minutes
So, correct time will be
2 PM, 11th july + (99 hours and 58 minutes) = 12 : 58 PM on 15th July

said to be in plastic state.
(b) Boussinesq’s theory is used for the analysis of stratified soil.

friction.
(d) For saturated dense fine sand, after applying overburden correction, if the Standard

Ans. (b)
Boussinesq’s assumed soil as isotropic hence not applicable for stratified soil.
Q.8 A reinforced-concrete slab with effective depth of 80 mm is simply supported at two

opposite ends on 230 mm thick masonry walls. The centre-to-centre distance between
the walls is 3.3 m. As per IS 456 : 2000, the effective span of the slab (in m, up to
two decimal places) is ___________.
11-02-2018 | Shift-2
Ans. (3.15)
Effective depth
d = 80 mm
Width of support = 230 mm
c/c distance between walls = 3.30 m
Clear span of slab = 3.30 – 0.23 = 3.07 m
⎧• (Lclear + d)
Effective span = Minimum ⎨
⎩• c/c distance between supports
⎧• (3.07 + 0.08 = 3.15 m)

So, Leff = 3.15 m

Q.15 A fillet weld is simultaneously subjected to factored normal and shear stresses of
120 MPa and 50 MPa, respectively. As per IS 800 : 2007. the equivalent stress (in MPa.
up to two decimal places) is
11-02-2018 | Shift-2
Ans. (147.99)
Factored normal stress, fa = 120 MPa
Factored shear stress, q = 50 MPa
According to IS-800 : 2007, clause 10.5.10.1.1
The equivalent stress, fe = fu

fa 2 + 3q 2 ≤
3Ymw
fe = 1202 + 3 × 502 = 147.99

fu 400
⇒ fe ≤ = = (184.75 MPa)
3y mw 3 × 1.25
Note : The above check for combination of stresses need not be done for fillet welds
where the sum of normal and shear stresses does not exceed fwd [clause 10.5.10.1.2(b)]
Hence, sum of normal and shear stresses = 120 + 50 = 170 MPa ≤ fwd (= 184.75 MPa)
So, the above check need not be done.
So, weld is designed for a resultant shear stress of (fr)
fr = fa2 + q 2 = 1202 + 502 = 130 N/mm2

So, the design stress is 130 N/mm2; however equivalent stress 147.99 MPa.

(c) 0.70 (d) 0.80
Ans. (d)
One end is fixed
Other end is pin jointed
Effective length of column (as per IS:456–2000)

Q.17 The intensity of irrigation for the Kharif season is 50% for an irrigation project with
culturable command area of 50,000 hectares. The duty for the Kharif season is 1000
hectare cumec. Assuming transmission loss of 10%, the required discharge (in cumec,
up to two decimal places) at the head of the canal is __________.
Ans. (27.78)
Culturable command area = 50000 ha
Intensity of irrigation for kharif season = 50%
∴ Area under kharif = 25000 ha

Q.26 A coal containing 2% sulfur is burned completely to ash in a brick kiln at a rate of 30
kg/min. The sulfur content in the ash was found to be 6% of the initial amount of sulfur
present in the coal fed to the brick kiln. The molecular weights of S, H and O are 32,
1 and 16 g/mole, respectively. The annual rate of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission from the
kiln (in tonnes/year, up to two decimal places) is ________.
Ans. (592.88)
Coal burned in one year = 30 × 24 × 60 × 365
= 1.5768 × 107 kg
2
Sulfur content = × 1.5768 × 107 × 10 −6 = 315.36 tonnes/year
100
6
Sulfur content in ash = × 315.36 = 18.92 tonnes/year
100
Sulfur converted to SO2 = 315.36 – 18.92 = 296.44 tonnes/year
S + O2 → SO2
1 mole of S is present in 1 mole of SO2
32 gm of S is present in 64 gm of SO2
64
∴ Rate of SO2 emission = × 296.44 = 592.88 tonnes /year

effective flexural rigidity EI = 2 × 104 kNm2 and the effective prestressing force is 200 kN,
the net increase in length of the prestressing cable (in mm, up to two decimal places)
is _________.

Q.49 At a small water treatment plant which has 4 Filters, the rates of filtration and backwashing
are 200 m3/d/m2 and 1000 m3/d/m2, respectively. Backwashing is done for 15 min per
day. The maturation, which occurs initially as the filter is put back into service after
cleaning, takes 30 min. It is proposed to recover the water being wasted during
backwashing and maturation. The percentage increase in the filtered water produced (up
to two decimal places) would be _________.
Ans. (7.525)
Let total area of filters be 1 m2
15
Water used for backwashing = 1000 × = 10.4166 m3
24 × 60

Water used for maturation = 200 × = 4.166 m3
24 × 60
Total water wasted for backwashing and maturation
= 10.4166 + 4.166 = 14.58 m3

Q.51 The total rainfall in a catchment of area 1000 km2, during a 6 h storm, is 19 cm. The
surface runoff due to this storm computed from triangular direct runoff hydrograph is
1 × 108 m3. The φindex for this storm (in cm/h, up to one decimal place) is ________.
Ans. (1.5)
1 × 108 m3
Surface runoff = = 0.1 m = 10 cm
1000 × 106 m2
Total Rainfall = 19 cm

As intensity of rainfall > w-index.
And rainfall intensity is uniform therefore φ-index = w-index = 1.5 cm/hr.
