Practice Test: Gate Civil Engineering(CE) 2013 Paper - GATE MCQ

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

The correction needs to be done in the second part by excluding to from it. It should be-
The professor ordered the students to go out of the class.
Here, “to” is implied in the word “ordered”.

Primeval pertains to the first age or ages, especially of the world. E.g.: primeval forms of life

Friendship, No matter how intimate it is, has its limitation. Intimate refers to close personal relations, e.g. an intimate friend. It is also characterized by or involving warm friendship or a personally close or familiar association or feeling.

Medicine leads to good health. Similarly, Education leads to Knowledge. Science does not lead to experiment. Wealth may not necessarily lead to peace. Also money may not also lead to happiness all the time

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

If two members meet at a joint which are not collinear and also there is no external forces acting on that joint then both members will carry zero forces

So, force is member is “RS” will be zero

Since the latitude of line is positive and departure is negative, the line lies in Fourth quadrant.

In an open channel flow, a section where depth is known for a given discharge is known is known as control section. Hence, the control section for subcritical flow is downstream end and for supercritical flow is upstream end.

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.

Mach Number - Ratio of fluid velocity and velocity of sound.
Reynold Number- Ratio of inertial force and viscous force.
Weber Number- Ratio of Inertial force and surface tension force 
Froude Number- Ratio of Inertial force and gravity force
Euler Number- Ratio of inertial force and pressure force.

Pavement made up of cement acts as a beam, even though the soil below the pavement settles at some sections, the whole beam will either not settle or settlement will take place as a whole, similar to a beam. Thus, plain jointed cement pavement will be designed for appropriate flexural strength.

Load on each column = 400kN

Bearing capacity of soil= 100 kN /m²

If the foundation area is less than 40% of plot area, then isolated foundation is suitable.

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.

As per clause 3.7.2 of IS 800:2007

The shape of flow net character depends only on the type of soil available at the site. Similarly, flow-net once formed is only on the basis of type of soil and its properties. It has no influence in the upstream and downstream heads, dimension of flow space and head difference causing the flow.

Alkalinity is measured by titrating solution against N/50 H₂SO₄ with indicator methyl orange and phenolphthalein.
Hardness is measured by titrating solution against N/50 EDTA with indicator EBT (Erichrome Black T).
Chlorine is measured by titrating the solution against N/35.5 Silver Nitrate Solution and Potassium Chromate as an indicator.
Dissolved Oxygen is measured by titrating it against N/40 Sodium Thiosulphate and starch indicator.

Return period of rainfall, T = 50 years

 Probability of occurrence once in 50 years, p=1/50 =0.02

Probability of occurrence in each of 2 successive years
