Van Leeuwenhoek discovered "protozoa" - the single-celled organisms and he called them "animalcules". He also improved the microscope and laid foundation for microbiology. He is often cited as the first microbiologist to study muscle fibers, bacteria, spermatozoa and blood flow in capillaries.

In humans, the small intestine is about 6 meters or 20 feet long and the large intestine is about 1.5 meters or 5 feet long obviously depending on the size of the person.

Anatomy is the branch of biology concerned with the study of the structure of organisms and their parts.

Anatomy and physiology, which study (respectively) the structure and function of organisms and their parts, make a natural pair of related disciplines, and they are often studied together.

The beginning modifier (in technical jargon, it’s called appositive) “A leading figure” must modify Adam Smith, not his two books. This cancels A and B.The sentence presents a similarity using the structure “x is to y what a is to b” making C as the right option.

Let the number of boys and girls be 4x and 3x .
Number of students who do not play badminton
= 60% of 4x% 2B 40% of 3x = 3.6x
Total number of students in school 4x + 3x = 7x
Then the required percentage = (3.6x/7x) X 100 = 51.42%

Total age increased  = 8 x 2 =16 years

Age of new player = 16 + 16 = 32  years

Freyssinet system was introduced by the French Engineer Freyssinet and it was the first method to be introduced. High strength steel wires of 5mm or 7mm diameter, numbering 8 or 12 or 16 or 24 are grouped into a cable with a helical spring inside.

Lysimeter is used to measure Evapotranspiration.

Tyre pressure of high magnitudes demand high quality of materials in upper layers in pavements however total depth of pavement is not governed by tyre pressure.

Weber’s number is given as (Inertia Force / Surface Tension).
The Weber number is a characteristic number used in fluid mechanics. As a dimensionless quantity, it describes the ratio between deforming inertial forces and stabilizing cohesive forces for liquids flowing through a fluid medium.

"Stream function will exist but potential function may or may not exist" is true.

Planes of maximum shear stress occur at 45° to the principal planes. 4. The maximum shear stress is equal to one half the difference of the principal stresses.

The atmosphere is composed of gases, water vapour and dust particles.

Dust Particles

The atmosphere has a sufficient capacity to keep small solid particles, which may originate from different sources and include sea salts, fine soil, smoke-soot, ash, pollen, dust and disintegrated particles of meteors.

Dust and salt particles act as hygroscopic nuclei around which water vapour condenses to produce clouds.

Density of Low weight concrete is about 300 – 1200 kg/m³.

Density of No fines concrete is about 1600 – 2000 kg/m³.

Density of Conventional concrete is about 2400 kg/m³.

Density of Heavy weight concrete is about 3000 – 60000 kg/m³.

First class bricks are good quality bricks compared to other classes. It should be:

Table moulded, uniform shape and Burnt in kilns.

Its surfaces and edges are sharp, square, smooth and straight.

It is used for important work which are permanent in nature.

It should be free from flaws, cracks, and stones.

In General, Quality of First-class brick should be such that:

• It should produce clear metallic ringing sound when stuck with each other. (Soundness test)
• The brick should possess sufficient hardness and does not show any impression over the surface when scratched with the finger nail. (Hardness Test)
• Bricks, when immersed in water for 24 hours, should not absorb water by more than 20% in the case of First-class Brick. (Absorption Test).

Total carpet area of building = 500 sq.m
Area for walls and verandah = 500x10 / 100 = 50 square meter
So total area = 500 + 50 = 550 sq.m
Preliminary estimate for total Area
= 550 x 1200
= 660000 Rs.

1. For small opening up to 0.5 square meter no deduction is made, and at the time no additions are made for jambs, soffits and sills of these opening.
2. For opening exceeding 0.5 square meter but not exceeding 3 square meter deduction is made for one side and other face is allowed for jambs soffits and sills which are not taken into account separately.
3. For opening above 3 square meter deduction is made for both faces of the opening and the jambs, soffits and sills are into account and added.
4. no deduction is made for Ends of beams, post, rafters, etc. up to 500 sq.cm or 0.05 sq.m in section.

Hence option B is correct.

A barometer is a scientific instrument used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure. Pressure tendency can forecast short term changes in the weather. Many measurements of air pressure are used within surface weather analysis to help find surface troughs, high pressure systems and frontal boundaries.

Factor of safety is the ratio of yield stress to working stress.

Slenderness ratio for different members,

1) Slenderness ratio for a member carrying compressive loads resulting from dead and superimposed loads is 180.

2) Slenderness ratio for a member subjected to a compressive loads resulting from wind or earthquake forces is 250.

3) Slenderness ratio for a member normally carrying tension but subjected to reversal of stress due to wind or earthquake forces is 350.
