MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 8 - Question 1

Directions: Each of the following consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question:

Madhavi joined the office on which date?
Statement I:
Madhavi’s daughter correctly remembers that Madhavi joined the office after 4th November but before 10th November.
Statement II: Madhavi’s husband correctly remembers that Madhavi joined the office after 7th November but before 12th November.

Detailed Solution for MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 8 - Question 1

From Statement I:

From this statement, we get that Madhavi joined the office on 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th or 9th November.

Clearly, data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

From Statement II:

From this statement, we get that Madhavi joined the office on 8th, 9th, 10th or 11th November.

Clearly, data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Checking both Statement, I and II together:

We can say that Madhavi joined the office either on 8th or 9th November.

Clearly, data in both the statements I and II together is not sufficient to answer question.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.

MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 8 - Question 3

Directions: The following question has two blanks, each blank indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the set of words for blanks that best fits in the context of the sentence.

The problem of housing shortage ______________ with the population explosion has also been ______________ by this policy.

Detailed Solution for MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 8 - Question 3

For the first blank, ‘problem’ and ‘with the population explosion’ hold the context of the sentence as population is shown as a problem and the word which fits here is 'compounded' as it means ‘mixed or combined’.
This eliminates all other options.
Also, for the second blank, ‘by this policy’ is enough to tell the usage of 'addressed' as it means ‘discussed’ and completes the sentence by all means.

Meanings of the given words:
Projected (Verb): to forecast or predict.
Discussed (Verb): to talk about.
Threatened (Verb): to cause or make someone to be at risk.
Manifested (Verb): to show or display.
Dispensed (Verb): to distribute.
Acknowledged (Verb): accept the existence of truth.
Compounded (Verb): to mix or combine.
Addressed (Adjective): greet or salute or discussed.

So, the correct option is D.

MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 8 - Question 13

Cement will have higher ultimate strength, less generation of heat and less cracking if:

Detailed Solution for MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 8 - Question 13

Initial setting of Portland cement is due to the tricalcium aluminate. Tricalcium aluminate hydrates quickly, generates much heat and makes only small contribution to the strength within the first 24 hours. Among all the elements, the aluminate generates the maximum heat. Due to this, tricalcium aluminate is responsible for most of.the undesirable properties of concrete.

A submerged pipe outlet is an example of

Detailed Solution for MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 8 - Question 29

Submerged pipe outlet is a non-modular type of outlet so the discharge depends upon the water level in both the minor and well chamber.

Thus discharge through outlet can be increased by increasing HL or by increasing the depth of water in the minor. If there is any drop in the water level in the minor, the HL and discharge will decrease.

The other common examples of this type of outlet are

a) Open Sluice

b) Drowned pipe outlet
