MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 2 - Question 4

Two buses start from the opposite points of a main road, 150 km apart. The first bus runs for 25 km and takes a turn right and runs for 15 km. It then turns left and runs for another 25 km and takes the direction back to reach the main road. In the meantime, due to a minor breakdown, the other bus has run only 35 km along the main road, what would be the distance between the two buses at this point?

Detailed Solution for MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 2 - Question 4

Let X and Y be two buses. Bus X travels the PA, AB, BC, CD.
Now, AD = BC = 25 km.
So, PD = PA +AD = 50km.
Bus Y travels 35km upto E.
Distance between two buses = PQ – (PD + QE)
= [150 – (50 + 35)] = 65 km.

MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 2 - Question 6

The shearing strength of a cohesion less coil depends on -

Detailed Solution for MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 2 - Question 6
Factor Affecting Shear Strength of Cohesionless Soil-
  • Shear strength of cohesionless soils is only developed with the presence of effective stress.

  • Shear strength increases with increasing effective stress.

  • The increase of shear strength of cohesionless soil depends upon the internal friction angles of the soil.

  • The type of soil most susceptible to liquefaction is one in which the resistance to deformation is mobilized by friction between particles. If other factors such as grain shape, uniformity coefficient, and relative density are equal, the frictional resistance of cohesion less soil decreases as the grain size of soils becomes smaller.

MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 2 - Question 7

Sandstone is -

Detailed Solution for MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 2 - Question 7
There are three types of rocks based on geological formation

1. Igneous RocksIt is also known as primary, unstratified, or eruptive rocks. There are formed by volcanic origin and are formed due to the solidification of molten mass lying below or above the earth’s surface. For example, Granite rhyolite, basalt, etc.

2. Sedimentary Rocks

It is also known as aqueous or stratified rocks—the various weathering agencies, rain, sun, air, frost, etc. Break up the surface of the earth. Due to the seasonal variation, sedimentation takes place in layers. With time, the sediments get consolidated in horizontal beds due to the pressure exerted by overlying material, for example, Gypsum, sandstone, limestone, etc.

3. Metamorphic Rocks

Metamorphic rocks are formed from igneous or sedimentary rocks. This type of rock is formed by the action of the earth’s movements, temperature changes, liquid pressures, etc. Ex-Marble, Quartzite, etc.

The period of cleaning of a slow sand filter is usually:

Detailed Solution for MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 2 - Question 28
Slow sand filter: They consist of fine sand, supported by gravel. They capture particles near the surface of the bed and are usually cleaned by scraping away the top layer of sand that contains the particles.

Cleaning:

  • For cleaning, the top layer of sand is scrapped and 1.5 to 3 cm of sand is removed in each cleaning.

  • The frequency of cleaning is 1 to 3 months.

  • The rate of filtration is 100-200 l/hr/m2 of filter area.

  • It is used for smaller plants in villages.

Rapid sand Filter: They consist of larger sand grains supported by gravel and capture particles throughout the bed. They are cleaned by backwashing water through the bed to 'lift out' the particles.

Cleaning:

  1. Cleaning of the filter can also be done using surface wash but it should be accompanied by backwash.
