Direction: In the given question, a word/phrase is given followed by three statements; I, II and III. Choose the pair of sentences which can be combined using the given word/ phrase when used at the beginning of the new sentence.
And
I: When Lionel Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar kick and dribble the football, they don’t remain confined to Argentina, Portugal or Brazil, respectively.
II: Let the entire world realise that through sports, especially football, we all can cement our bonds, wash away our bitterness and prejudices.
III: Live with a greater sense of closeness and joy with each other.
‘And’ is used as a conjunction here which is used to introduce an additional comment or interjection.
Here sentences II and III are displaying same sense that is realizing the benefit of football in our lives whereas sentence I is providing entirely different aspect of football as a sport.
Hence option (B) will be the most appropriate choice.

Direction: Read the information carefully and give the answer of the following questions-
(This pie chart shows the percentage of students appear in six different exams in 2016)
(This bar graph shows the percentage of failed students which appear in these six different exams in 2016)
If in 2016, total number of failed students in exam F was 4080, then how many passed students appears in the exam B?
14280 ( Let total number of students be = 100z.
Total number of students appears in exam F = 16% of 100z = 16z;
Total number of failed students in exam F = 30% of 16z = 4.8z = 4080;
=> z = 850;
Total number of passed students appears in the exam B = (100 – 30)% of 24% of 100z = 16.8z = 16.8 × 850 = 14280 ;)
Direction: Two sentences with two blanks in each, followed by five alternatives with two words in each, are given. Choose that option as the answer which can fill both the blanks of both the sentences.
i. A sinking feeling of panic ________ over them and a temporary paralyzing fear engulfed them ________.
ii. Being a cleanliness freak, she ________ the floor and went down to the market only after the house was _________ clean.
‘Sweep’ is to clean (an area) by brushing away dirt or litter. It fits the first blank of the second sentence, as the subject is cleaning the floor. Further, ‘sweep over’ means to overcome or overwhelm, thus fits in the first blank of the first sentence. The second blank of both the sentences can be filled by "completely", thus conveying an appropriate sense. Thus, option D is the correct answer.

P can replace one of the five statements such that the four statements along with P would make a coherent paragraph. You have to identify which statement should P replace and then the find out the correct sequence from the options. If the five options are in logical order and form a coherent paragraph/passage, choose the fifth option “12345”.
1) The future of Germany’s coalition government is hanging in the balance after the country’s interior minister reportedly announced his intention to resign over a migration showdown with Angela Merkel.
2) Horst Seehofer, who is also leader of the Christian Social Union, on Sunday night offered to step down from his ministerial role and party leadership in a closed-door meeting in which he and fellow CSU leaders had debated the merits of the migration deal Merkel hammered out with fellow European Union leaders in Brussels.
3) But with CSU hardliners believed to have tried to talk the combative interior minister into staying, a press conference was postponed until Monday, with Seehofer seeking to go back to Merkel in search of a final compromise.
4) At a 2am media conference, Seehofer said he had agreed to meet again with Merkel’s party before he made his decision final.
5) “We’ll have more talks today with the CDU in Berlin with the hope that we can come to an agreement,” Seehofer said.
Direction: In the given question, a statement with a single blank is given. Choose the most effective word from the given options to complete the sentence meaningfully.

4 identical solid spheres are melted and re-formed into a solid hemisphere. Then, the ratio of the curved surface area of the hemisphere to half of the surface area of a single sphere is -
Let radius of sphere be ‘r’ and radius of hemisphere be ‘R’.
Then, ATQ, Volume of Spheres = Volume of Hemisphere
4 x (4/3)πr3 = (2/3)πR3
Or, R / r = (8)1/3 = 2 …(1)
C.S.A of hemisphere = 2πR2
And, Surface area of sphere = 4πr2
ATQ, 2πR2 :( ½) of 4πr2
= 2πR2 :2πr2 = R2 :r2 {using (1)}
= 4 :1

In levelling, if the sum of back sight and fore sight is 1.365 and 0.875 m and reduced level of B.M. is 100 m. then reduced level of end point will be-
According to arithmetic check;
∑B.S - ∑F.S = first R.L – last R.L
So, last R.L = first R.L + ∑F.S - ∑B.S
= 100 + 0.875 – 1.365
= 99.51 m
The maximum height of a low gravity dam of elementary profile made up of concrete of relative density 2.4 and safe allowable stress on foundation is 3.6MPa (Ignoring uplift force).
Maximum height of dam is given by
H= F/(ϒw × (Sc – C+1))

ϒw = 9.81KN/m^3
Sc =2.4
C=0
On solving H=107.93m hence correct option is A
The level of water in the reservoir is 1.25 m. If there is a rainfall of 38 cm occurring in a month, during this period evaporation as measured by the class A pan is 32 cm. What is the level of water in m at the end of the month.
Evaporation in lake = Pan coefficient × Pan evaporation

Initial level + Rainfall – Evaporation = Final level
Final level = 1.25 + 0.38 – 0.224 = 1.406 m

By applying Bernoulli's theorem, we know that if velocity increases then the pressure will decrease.
Lets take option 1
at the throat, the area will be less so velocity will increase and pressure will decrease. so the fluid will rise in the tube. Hence this option is right.
option 2
this can not be true as at the throat side fluid is falling which indicate a decrease in velocity and increase in pressure. That is wrong
Same concept follows for option 3 and 4. only option 4 depicts the continuity concept. So only case 1and 4 are right.

The velocity of fluid 2.234 m/s having a viscosity 0.023 Pa.s with density 2.345 is measured at a distance of 95 mm from the boundary. Find the shear stress at the boundary?
From the boundary conditions:
We see that the gradient will be:
dV/dy = 2.234 m/s /0.095 m
= 23.5/s
Now we will see for shear stress by:
Ʈ = µ dV/dy = 0.023 Pa.s x 23.5 s = 0.540 Pa
Which acid is used to distinguish the steel and the wrought iron on the field?
Nitric acid (HNO3) is used to distinguish. If a drop of nitric acid is placed on steel, it will produce a dark grey stain because of higher carbon content whereas in wrought iron, the stain will not be appreciable due to very low carbon content.
The topmost layer is loose, clean sand, 1.5 meter thick. Its vertical permeability can be estimated using Hazen’s formula with C = 1.5 and D10 = 0.016mm. Its horizontal permeability is known to be 350% of the Kv. Below the sand stratum is a layer of marl, 3.5 meters thick, with a kv = Kh = 10-4 m/s. what is the Equivalent Horizontal permeability for the upper 5 m in cm/sec?
Given that the vertical permeability in sand layer can be estimated using Allen- Hazen’s formula
Kv = C (D10)2
C = 1.5 and D10 = 0.016mm
Kv = 0.0384 x 10-3 cm/sec
Horizontal permeability for sandy layer is 350% of Kv
i.e. Kh = 3.5 (0.0384 x10-3 ) = 0.134 x10-3 cm/sec
Kh(equ) =(K1H1+K2H2)/(H1+H2)
Here K1 = 0.134 x10-3 cm/sec; H1 = 1.5m
K2 = 10-4 cm/sec; H2 = 3.5m
On substituting, we get Kh(equ) = 1.102 x 10-4 cm/sec

A2 + 3A + 2I = 0
Multiplying A–1 to both sides, we get
⇒ ? + 3? + 2? −1 = 0

Which of the following statements are CORRECT about affecting the bactericidal efficiency of chlorine?
1) When the time of contact increases, bactericidal efficiency increases.
2) pH range 5-7 is the most effective, beyond this range, bactericidal efficiency decreases.
3) Bactericidal efficiency decreases with increase in turbidity.
Factors affecting Bactericidal efficiency of Chlorine
1. Turbidity: The effect of turbidity in water is to make it difficult to obtain free residual chlorine. Also, the penetration of chlorine and therefore the destruction of bacteria in particles of suspended matter of a turbid water may be very uncertain.
2. pH of water: Increasing pH reduces effectiveness of chlorine. The effective sterilising compound, hypochlorous acid, is formed in greater quantities at low pH than(5 to 7) at high pH values.
3. Time of Contact: Bactericidal efficiency of chlorine increases with increases in time of contact in general also the bactericidal activity of chlorine is not spontaneous.

C) In drained test, higher the confining stress higher will be the consolidation which increases soil’s shearing strength, hence, failure stress will be high and therefore diameter of Mohr failure envelope gets on increasing in size.
D) Unconfined test means confining pressure should be zero, hence, diagram 4 only.
Note: CU and CD tests will have similar diagram for normally consolidated clays.
