ISRO Draughtsman Civil Mock Test - 9 - Question 25

With storage, the strength of cement:

Detailed Solution for ISRO Draughtsman Civil Mock Test - 9 - Question 25
  • Due to the hygroscopic nature of cement, it easily absorbs moisture from the atmosphere

  • This moisture or dampness is the main hazard for cement which makes it hard like stone and it converts it to a useless material not suitable for construction.

  • Storage of cement should be done in such a manner that it is not exposed to the atmosphere which can be done by packing in airtight bags.

Hence, the correct option is (B)

ISRO Draughtsman Civil Mock Test - 9 - Question 26

Which of the following chemical compounds can be used for de-chlorination of water?

Detailed Solution for ISRO Draughtsman Civil Mock Test - 9 - Question 26
De-chlorination is the process of removing chlorine from water (e.g., disinfected wastewater) before discharging the water into the environment. De-chlorination is performed because chlorine can form deposits on the internal edges of industrial equipment, cause health issues (e.g., choking) or lead to corrosion.

De-chlorination can be achieved with sulphur dioxide, sodium bisulphite (NaHSO3) or sodium metabisulphite (Na2S2O5).

Hence, the correct option is (D)

ISRO Draughtsman Civil Mock Test - 9 - Question 27

Which one of the following is not a classification of stones?

Detailed Solution for ISRO Draughtsman Civil Mock Test - 9 - Question 27
The classifications of stones are physical (based on structure), chemical (based on chemical composition), practical (based on usage), and geological (based on the mode of origin). Mineralogical classification is not a means of classifying stones in general. It’s called chemical classification.

Hence, the correct option is (B).

ISRO Draughtsman Civil Mock Test - 9 - Question 28

ISRO Draughtsman Civil Mock Test - 9 - Question 29

Which one of the following is correct for impulse turbines?

Detailed Solution for ISRO Draughtsman Civil Mock Test - 9 - Question 29
In the Impulse Turbine, the available hydraulic energy is first converted into kinetic energy by means of an efficient nozzle.

The high-velocity jet issuing from the nozzle then strikes a series of suitably shaped buckets fixed around the rim of a wheel.

The buckets change the direction of the jet without changing its pressure. The resulting change in momentum sets buckets and wheel into rotary motion and thus mechanical energy is made available at the turbine shaft.

Important impulse turbines are: Pelton wheel, Turgo - impulse wheel, Girad turbine, Banki turbine and Jonval turbine, etc., Pelton wheel is predominantly used at present.

Whereas In Reaction Turbine, a part of the total available hydraulic energy is transformed into kinetic energy before the water is taken to the turbine runner. A substantial part remains in the form of pressure energy.

ISRO Draughtsman Civil Mock Test - 9 - Question 30

Compaction factor is defined as the ratio of:

Detailed Solution for ISRO Draughtsman Civil Mock Test - 9 - Question 30

Compaction factor test is used to determine the workability of the fresh concrete mix. It is defined as the ratio of the weight of partially compacted concrete to fully compacted concrete.

For compaction factor = 0.65 – 0.7, the degree of workability is very low.

For compaction factor = 0.95 – 1, the degree of workability will be very high
