Gate Mock Test Civil Engineering (CE)- 5 - Question 10

In the sequence of the terms AD CG FK JP, the next term is

Detailed Solution for Gate Mock Test Civil Engineering (CE)- 5 - Question 10
Observe the first letters: A, C, F, J; the difference between each consecutive letter is incrementing by one letter. Or if we number the letters, the sequence is 1, 3, 6, 10 and the difference of the consecutive numbers in order is 2, 3, 4. Hence, the next difference is 5 and so the next number is 10 + 5 = 15, i.e. letter 'O'.

Observe the second letters: D, G, K, P; if we number these letters, they are 4, 7, 11, 16 and the difference of the consecutive numbers in order is 3, 4, 5. Hence, the next difference is 6 and so the next number is 16 + 6 = 22, i.e. letter 'V'.

Hence, the next term is 'OV'.

Gate Mock Test Civil Engineering (CE)- 5 - Question 19

To provide safety against piping failure, with a factor of safety of 5, what should be the maximum permissible exit gradient for soil with a specific gravity of 2.5 and porosity of 0.35?

Detailed Solution for Gate Mock Test Civil Engineering (CE)- 5 - Question 19
Exit gradient = seepage pressure per unit volume

Critical ic = when n = 0.35

= (G - 1)(1 - n)

= (2.5 - 1)(1 - 0.35) = 0.975

Maximum possible exit gradient with factor of safety

of 5 = 0.975/5 = 0.195

Gate Mock Test Civil Engineering (CE)- 5 - Question 26

The queue length (in number of vehicles) versus time (in seconds) plot for an approach to a signalized intersection with the cycle length of 96 seconds is shown in the figure (not drawn to scale).

At time t = 0, the light has just turned red. The effective green time is 36 seconds, during which vehicles discharge at the saturation flow rate, s (in vph). Vehicles arrive at a uniform rate, v (in vph), throughout the cycle. Which one of the following statements is TRUE?

Detailed Solution for Gate Mock Test Civil Engineering (CE)- 5 - Question 26
Vehicle arrived up to 60 sec (Red time) = 10

Arrival rate = 1060 × 3600 = 600 V/hV = 600 V/h

Departure at vehicle starts at 60 seconds and ends at 90 seconds.

So, between 60 second to 90 second

Total vehicle departed = Vehicle arrived up to 60 sec + Vehicle arriving between 60 sec and 90 sec = 10 + 600/3600 × 30 = 10 + 5 = 15

So, departure rate = saturation flow = S = 1530 × 3600

S = 1800 vph

Average delay time is given by: td = (C/2(1 − gc)2)/(1 − V/S)C = 96 seconds

g = 96 - 60 = 36 seconds

V = 600 vph

S = 1800 vph

td = 96/2(1 − 36/96)21 − 600/1800

td = 28.125 seconds
