MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 8 - Question 2

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.

In which month of the year is Kirti’s birthday?
Statement I:
Kirti correctly remembers that her birthday is in the second half of the year.
Statement II: Kirti’s father correctly remembers that her birthday is after 31st October but before 1st December.

Detailed Solution for MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 8 - Question 2

Checking Statement I:

Here, as Kirti correctly remembers that her birthday is in the second half of the year, so her birthday is in July or August or September or October or November or December.

Hence data in statement I is not sufficient to answer the question.

Checking Statement II:

Here, as Kirti’s father correctly remembers that her birthday is after 31st October but before 1st December, so we can say that Kirti’s birthday is in November.

Hence data in statement II is sufficient to answer the question.

Hence, Option B is correct.

MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 8 - Question 8

Direction: Study the following information and answer the given questions carefully.
There are 8 persons, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W sitting around a rectangular table in such a way that four of them sit at four corners of the table while four sit in the middle of each of four sides. Persons who sit at the corners face outside the centre while those who sit in the middle of the side face inside.
Q sits second to the right of P. R sits third to the left of W. R faces inside. T sits third to the left of U. V sits second to the left of U. R is not an immediate neighbor of P.
Q. Who among the following sits exactly opposite to U?

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

From the final arrangement, we get S sits exactly opposite to U.
Hence, Option D is correct.
References:
Q sits second to the right of P.
Inferences:
From the above reference, we get two different cases:
In case 1, P sits at the corner or in the middle of the side of the table.

References:
R is not an immediate neighbor of P.
R faces inside.
R sits third to the left of W.
Inferences:
From the above references, we get different cases for R, in case 1(a) in which R faces P and in case 1(b) R faces Q.

References:
T sits third to the left of U.
V sits second to the left of U.
Inferences:
So, from this case 1(b) and case 2 will be eliminated as there is no possible place for V in these cases after placing U and T. Hence, we get our final arrangement in which S sits on the immediate left of P and V sits on the immediate right of R.
Final arrangement:

A submerged pipe outlet is an example of

Detailed Solution for MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 8 - Question 30

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
