Q. 1 – Q. 5 carry one mark each.
A number is as much greater than 75 as it is smaller than 117. The number is:
Let the number be N.
Then we know that N - 75 = 117 - N
Add N to both sides to get this:
2N - 75 = 117
Add 75 to both sides to get this:
2N = 117 + 75 = 192
Divide both sides by 2 to get this:
N = 96

A firm is selling it product at Rs. 60/unit. The total cost of production is Rs. 100 and firm is earning total profit of Rs. 500. Later, the total cost increased by 30%. By what percentage the price should be increased to maintain the same profit level
Profit= Earned money after selling- Cost of Production
500= Earned money after selling-100
Earned money after selling = 600
Therefore, firm sold 600/60= 10 units.
New cost of production= 130
Profit=500
Earned money after selling=500+130=630
Therefore, new price of each unit = 630/10 = 63
Therefore % increase in price= 100*(63-60)/60=5

Creep means when the length of bar keeps on changing at a constant load.
Therefore, creep strain will be caused by a static load.
Since, out of dead load, live load and cyclic load, constant and static load is only dead load and other loads application keeps on changing, hence, creep strain is caused due to dead load only.

Following statement are made on compacted soil, where DS stands for soil compaction on Dry Side of OMC and WS stands for soil compacted on Wet Side of OMC. Identify incorrect statement
For a given compacting effort, the soil tends to have a flocculated structure on the wet side of optimum whereas the wet side of optimum, the structure tends to be more dispersed.
Construction of pore water pressure is low on dry side and high on wet side, due to presence of more water on wet side (which will be exerted to normal and shear stresses) which leads to higher pore water pressure.
Soil compacted on wet of optimum tends to exhibit more shrinkage upon drying than those compacted dry side of optimum. The more orderly, nearly parallel orientation of particles allows the particles to pack more efficiently as compared to randomly oriented particles on the dry side of optimum.
A soil on the dry side of optimum has a higher water deficiency and a more random arrangement. It can therefore, imbibe more water than a soil on the wet of optimum and in the process swells more.
