Read the following instructions carefully.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE EXAMINATION, YOU SHOULD CHECK THAT
THIS TEST BOOKLET DOES NOT HAVE ANY UNPRINTED OR TORN OR MISSING PAGES OR ITEMS, ETC.
IF SO, GET IT REPLACED BY A COMPLETE TEST BOOKLET.

2. You have to enter your Roll Number on the Test Booklet in the Box provided
alongside. DO NOT write anything else on the Test Booklet.

3. This Test Booklet contains 75 items (questions). Each item comprises four responses (answers). You will select the
response which you want to mark on the Answer Sheet. In case, you feel that there is more than one correct response,
mark the response which you consider the best. In any case, choose ONLY ONE response for each item.

4. You have to mark all your responses ONLY on the separate Answer Sheet provided. See directions in the Answer
Sheet.

5. All items carry equal marks

6. Before you proceed to mark in the Answer Sheet the response to various items in the Test Booklet, you have to fill in
some particulars in the Answer Sheet as per instructions sent to you with your Admission Certificate.

7. After you have completed filling in all your responses on the Answer Sheet and the examination has concluded, you
should hand over to the Invigilator only the Answer Sheet. You are permitted to take away with you the Test Booklet.

8. Sheets for rough work are appended in the Test Booklet at the end.

9. Penalty for wrong answers:

THERE WILL BE PENALTY FOR WRONG ANSWERS MARKED BY A CANDIDATE.
(i) There are four alternatives for the answer to every question. For each question for which a wrong answer has been
given by the candidate, one-third of the marks assigned to that question will be deducted as penalty.
(ii) If a candidate gives more than one answer, it will be treated as a wrong answer even if one of the given answers
happens to be correct and there will be same penalty as above to that question.
(iii) If a question is left blank, i.e. no answer is given by the candidate, there will be no penalty for that question.

DO NOT OPEN THIS TEST BOOKLET UNTIL YOU ARE ASKED TO DO SO

expected time of critical activities) follows
beta distribution.
69. Statement (I): ‘Lawful consideration’ is
necessary and sufficient condition of
contract.
Statement (II): Lawful consideration is
essential for a valid contract.
70. Statement (I): Because of lower co-
efficient of traction between rubber tires and
can be construction site soil surfaces, the wheel
are tractor may slip its wheels before developing
its rated pulling effort.
Statement (II): In order to attain a high
speed, rubber wheel equipment must
sacrifice pulling effort.
not be
71. Statement (I): The most appropriate failure
theory for ductile materials is maximum
shear strain energy theory.
Statement (II): In Distortion energy theory,
satisfies the practical results for ductile
materials than other theories.
72. Statement (I): For a given area of cross-
section, beams with circular cross section
can take more shear loads than beams with
square cross-section.
Statement (II): For a given area of cross-
section, beams with square cross-section can
take more bending moment than beams with
circular cross-section.

shaft section. 75. Statement (I): True stresses are always
greater than engineering or nominal stresses.
Statement (II): True stress corresponds to
actual area of cross-section whereas nominal
stress corresponds to original cross-section
