Gate Mock Test Civil Engineering (CE)- 10 - Question 3

In a company, 35% of the employees drink coffee, 40% of the employees drink tea and 10% of the employees drink both tea and coffee. What % of employees drink neither tea nor coffee?

Detailed Solution for Gate Mock Test Civil Engineering (CE)- 10 - Question 3
C → Coffee → % of employees who drink coffee = 35%

T → Tea → % of employees who drink tea = 40%

% of employees who drink both tea and coffee = 10%

= 100% - (25% + 10% + 30%)

= 35% (∵ From the Venn diagram)

(iv) Downwind concentration of air pollutants due to an elevated point source will be directly proportional to the wind speed.

Select the correct option.

Detailed Solution for Gate Mock Test Civil Engineering (CE)- 10 - Question 18
(a) For statement 4 and statement 2

According to Fick's law of diffusion,

It is assumed that the plume has a Gaussian distribution in both z (vertical) and y (horizontal) direction.

The concentration of a gas or aerosol (< 20)="" calculated="" at="" ground="" level="" for="" a="" distance="" downward="" x="" is="" given="" />

Where,

C is the concentration of pollutant,

U is mean wind speed,

σy is the standard deviation of horizontal plume concentration, in the crosswind direction,

σx is the standard deviation of horizontal plume concentration, in the vertical direction,

H is effective stack height (m),

X is the downward distance along the plume mean centerline from a point source (m),

Y is crosswind distance from the centerline of the plume (m),

From the relation, we can see that the downwind concentration of air pollutants due to an elevated point source is not directly proportional to the wind speed.

Whereas it is inversely proportional to concentration.

Statement 4 is false and statement 2 is true.

(b) Category

A – Extremely unstable

B – Moderately unstable

C – Slightly unstable

D – Neutral

E – Slightly stable

F – Moderately Stable

For neutral (D) velocity > For very unstable (A),
