For a > b, if a + b = 5 and ab = 6, then the value of (a2 - b2) is
→ (a - b)2 = (a + b)2– 4ab ………………….(equation)
Given, (a + b) = 5 and ab = 6
Substituting the values in equation, we get,
(a-b)2 = 52 – 4 x 6 = 1
→ (a - b) = 1
We know that, (a2 – b2) = (a + b)(a - b)
Substituting the values of (a + b) and (a - b) in above equation, we get,
(a2 – b2) = 5 × 1 = 5
Hence, the required answer is 5.
Another Solutions:
let, a= 3 & b=2 a>b
a+b=5
3+2= 5,
ab =6, 2*3=6,
(a2 - b2)= 32- 22 = 9- 4 = 5.
In the following question, out of the given alternatives, select the word opposite in meaning to the given word.

The Palghat Gap (or Palakkad Gap), a region about 30 km wide in the southern part of the Western Ghats in India, is lower than the hilly terrain to its north and south. The exact reasons for the formation of this gap are not clear. It results in the neighbouring regions of Tamil Nadu getting more rainfall from the South West monsoon and the neighbouring regions of Kerala having higher summer temperatures.
Q. What can be inferred from this passage?
Here the passage is asking, ” what can be inferred ? “, i.e. it’s asking about the hidden conclusion of the passage.
Why not Option A ? – because it is clearly given in the passage : “The exact reasons for the formation of this gap are not clear “.
Why not Option B ? – because the passage nowhere talks about the low-lying regions of Kerala and Tamil Nadu near the Palghat Gap.
Why not option D ? – Because the passage only says : “neighbouring regions of Kerala having higher summer temperatures”, it doesn’t say that this high temperature results in rainfall.
Note: We have to think and conclude only from what is given in the passage. We can’t make our own conclusions.
Why Option C ? – because the passage says : ” It results in the neighbouring regions of Tamil Nadu getting more rainfall from the South West monsoon and the neighbouring regions of Kerala having higher summer temperatures”,
Hence we can conclude here that the weather is getting affected due to the Gap.
Therefore, option C is correct.
It takes 30 minutes to empty a half-full tank by draining it at a constant rate. It is decided to simultaneously pump water into the half-full tank while draining it. What is the rate at which water has to be pumped in so that it gets hilly filled in 10 minutes?
Given in the question that; Vhalf = 30(s)
Let us take drawing rate = s
Total volume = 60 S tank
(s1)(10) – (s)10 = 30s
s1(s) – s = 3s
s1 = 4s
s1 = 4 times the drawing rate.

The area enclosed between the parabola y = x2 and the straight line y = x is
On solving given equation, we get the intersection points as,
y = x2 puty = x
x = x2
x2−x = 0
x(x−1) = x = 0,1
Then from y = x
For x = 0 y = 0
& x = 1 y = 1
We can see that curve y = x2 and y = x intersects at point (0,0) and (1,1) So, the area bounded by both the curves is
Area is never Negative.
Which of the following statement is INCORRECT?
Shear parameters ‘c’ and ∅ are dependent of water content of soil
Vane shear test is a useful method of measuring the shear strength of clay. It is a cheaper and quicker method. The test can also be conducted in the laboratory.
The laboratory vane shear test for the measurement of shear strength of cohesive soils, is useful for soils of low shear strength (less than 0.3kg/{cm}^2) for which triaxial or unconfined tests cannot be performed.
The test gives the undrained strength of the soil. The undisturbed and remoulded strength obtained are useful for evaluating the sensitivity of soil.
This test is also useful when the soil is soft and its water content is nearer to the liquid limit.
A manometer is used to measure the pressure in a tank. The fluid used has a specific gravity of 0.86, and the manometer column height is 50cm, as shown in figure If the local atmospheric pressure is 100kPa, calculate the absolute pressure within the tank.
Take the standard density of water to be 1000kg/m3.
The specific gravity of the manometer fluid is given to be 0.86
ρ = SG(ρH2O) = (0.86) (1000 kg/m3) =860 kg/m3
Then from Eq. ,

⇒ x = 3, -2
∴ f''(x) = 12x-6
⇒ f''(x)<0 @x=-2
So, f(x) has a maximum value at -2 only.

There are two normal equations to evaluate a and b of the equation
y = a + bx
∑y = Na + b∑x …(i)
and ∑xy = a∑x + b∑x2 …(ii)
From Eq. (i), 21 = 3a + 6b …(iii)
From Eq. (ii) 46 = 6a + 14b
⇒ 23 = 3a + 7b …(iv)
Now, Eq. (iv) – Eq. (iii),
3a + 7b = 23
3a + 6b = 21
- - -
b = 2
From Eq. (iii), 3a = 21 – 12

In a network, a project activity has normal cost and normal duration of Rs. 400 and 8 days respectively. The same activity has crash cost and crash duration of Rs. 800 and 6 days. The crash cost slope of activity is;
Mathematically, we can say,
Cost slope = [Crash cost – Normal cost]/[Normal time – Crash time]
In simple words, we can say that the cost slope of an activity is the increase in cost of an activity by reducing the duration by one unit.
So, Cost Slope = (Crash Cost-Normal Cost)/(Normal time - Crash time) = 800-400/8-6 = 200.
Precast concrete pile of size 50 cm × 50 cm is to be driven into clay strata. The unconfined compressive strength of which is 110 kN/m2. Then the length required to carry a safe working load of 500 kN with FOS = 3 and α = 0.6 is _______ m.
Qu = CubNcAb + aCu avAs
Qu = 500 × FOS = 500×3 = 1500
1500 = 110/2 × 9 × 0.52 + 0.6 × 110/2 × 4 × 0.5 × L
L = 20.8522 m.
An RC beam of rectangular cross-section has 250 mm width and 450 mm effective depth. Vertical stirrups 2-legged 10 mm diameter are provided at a spacing of 250 mm centre to centre and assume design shear strength of concrete is 0.6 MPa. The total shear capacity (in kN) of the section is
[Use Fe 415 grade steel for stirrups]
Shear resistance of concrete,
Vus = τcbd = 0.6 × 250 × 450 = 67.5kN
∴ Total shear capacity = Vus + Vus = 169.58kn
The command area of a channel is 4000 hectares. The intensity of irrigation of a crop is 70% and it requires 60 cm of water in 15 days, when the effective rainfall is recorded as 15 cm during that period, then the duty at the head of the channel is _________ ha/cumec.
[Assume total losses as 15%]
Depth of water = 60cm
Effective rainfall = 15 cm
Depth of irrigating water = 60 – 15 = 45 cm
⇒ Delta = 45 cm = 0.45 m
B = 15 days
From relation, ∆= 8.64×B/D
⇒ Duty(D) = 8.64×15/0.45 = 288ha/cumec
Due to loss of water, duty at head of channel is reduced
Here losses are 15%
So, duty at head of channel = 288 × 85/100
= 244.80 ha/cumecs

A piece of material is subjected to two perpendicular stresses 112 N/mm2 (tensile) and p (compressive). If the strain energy due to both the stresses is same as a stress of 128 N/mm2 acting alone, then the compressive stress, p (in N/mm2), is;
[Take Poisson’s ratio (μ)= 0.3]
As we know the relation,
Strain energy per unit volume,
Here, P1 = 112 N/mm2 (tensile)
P2 = p N/mm2 (compressive)
μ = 0.3
∴ U = 1/2E(1122 + p2 + 2 × 0.3 × 112p
U = 1/2E (12544 + 67.2p + p2) ...(i)
For a single stress, p’, acting alone , U = p1/2/2E per unit volume (wehere, p’ = 128 N/mm2)
⇒ 1282/2E = 1/2E(12544 + 67.2p + p2)
⇒ p2 + 67.2p - 3840 = 0
∴ p = 36.89 N/ mm2
A pre-tensioned concrete member if section 200×250 mm contains tendons of area 500 mm2 at centre of gravity of the section. The pre-stress in the tendons is 1000N/mm2. Assuming modular ratio as 10.the stress in(N/mm2) concrete is
Compressive force in steel = Ast × fst
= 500 × 103 = 5 × 105
Area of section in terms of concrete = A +(m-1) Ast
= (200×250)+(10-1) × 500
= 54500 mm2
Stress in concrete = PA = 5 × 105/54500 = 9.17 N/mm2
Consider the following statements regarding two hinged arch.
1) Two hinged arch is more stable than three hinged arches and it is more generally used in structures inspite of its indeterminacy.
2) The horizontal reaction at the two hinged arch should be kept minimum for the maximum utilization of the arch.
Which of the above statements are incorrect?
A two hinged arch should produce the horizontal reaction because the horizontal reaction reduces the bending moment of the arch as compared to the simply supported beam, thus it should not be minimized. So, option B is incorrect.

∴ V2 = g × 2/3y = 9.81 × 2/3 × 1.125
∴ V = 2.712 m/s
Discharge, Q = AV
= 2/3 × 5 × 1.125 × 2.712
= 10.17 m3/s.Positive_Mark: 2
Two masses are attached to the two ends of a cable which passes over two frictionless pulleys as shown in the figure. (Consider acceleration due to gravity as g). The acceleration of the 100 kg mass is
Consider the acceleration 'a' upward for 50kg mass and downward for 100 kg mass.
Now, by applying equation of the equilibrium we have
T-50g = 50a................eq.1
100g-T = 100a.............eq.2
by solving these two equations, we get
a = g/3
Classify the soil with the following properties according to IS classification:
Fraction upto 4.75 mm = 40%
Fraction between 4.75 mm & 0.075 mm = 15 %
Fraction below 0.075 mm = 45 %
Coarse-grained soils are defined as those in which at least half the material is retained on a 75µm (No.200) sieve.
As more than 50% is retained on 75μ IS sieve, the soil is coarse-grained.
Coarse fraction = 55%
Gravel fraction = 40%
Sand fraction = 15%
As more than half the coarse fraction is larger than 4.75 mm sieve, the coarse part contains mainly gravel(G).
Now for classification under fines use A-Line concept
Given, LL = 40% & PL = 12%
IP = 40-12 = 28 % and from A-Line equation,
IP = 0.73(LL-20) = 14.6%
Hence, point is above A-Line = > Clay(C)
=> GC
The magnetic bearing of a line was N 60 °30' W when the declination was 5 °E. The magnetic bearing of line, if declination has changed to 3 °W, is
Initial magnetic bearing = N 60 °30' W
= 360 - 60 °30' = 299 °30'
Initial declination = 5 °E
∴ True bearing = Magnetic bearing + East declination
= 304 °30'
Present declination = 3 ° W
True bearing always remains same
∴ Present magnetic bearing = True bearing + West declination
= 307 ° 30'
= N 52 °30'W
Two dimensional stress tensor at a point is given by a matrix
[σxx τxy τyx σyy] = [100 30 30 20 ]MPa
The maximum shear stress is _______ MPa.
= 60 ± 50 σmax = 60 + 50 = 110
σmin = 60 - 50 = 10
For the given section of RCC beam, the neutral axis depth by working stress method is _________mm.
[Take M20 grade of concrete and Fe415 steel]
xa = 247>100 mm
Assumption is wrong.
Now consider xa < 100="" />
Equating the moment of area
120 × 100 × (xa-50) + 240
∴ xa = 223.96 mm
Available chlorine in bleaching powder solution is 0.6 mg/ml. To obtain a chlorine dose of 0.1 mg/lit in a 200 ml water sample, the amount of bleaching powder solution to be added is
The amount of chlorine needed in 400 ml water sample = (0.1/1000 × 200) mg = 0.02 mg----(i)
Let x ml be the amount of bleaching powder solution
The amount of chlorine present in x ml of bleaching powder solution = x × 0.6 mg----(ii)
Thus, (0.02) = x × 0.6 ⇒ x = 33.33 × 10-3 ml.
