  1. The water consumption of a high rise apartment building with 60 dwelling units having an average household size of 5 persons is 135 lpcd. Assuming 80% of the total use is met with recycled water supply, the daily domestic demand for the building is _________ litres.

    8100 to 8100
    Total dwelling units = 60.
    Average household size = 5.
    Thus, total population in building = 300.
    Thus, total water consumption demand of the building per day = 135 lpcd × 300 = 40,500 liters.
    It is given that, 80% of the total use is met with recycled water.
    Thus, (80 ×100) × 40,500 = 32,400 liters demand is met with recycled water.
    Thus, the net daily domestic demand of water of the building = 40,500 – 32,400 = 8100 liters.

    Correct Option: C

    224 to 226
    For a contilever beam lengt h ‘L’ carrying a concentrated load ‘W’ at its fixend, B. M.max = – (WL)
    Here, due to point load B. M.max = (– WL) = (– 20 × 5) = – 100 kN.m.
    For a contilever beam of length ‘L’ carrying on UDL ‘w’ over its entire spar B. M.max at fixed end = (WL²/2)
    Here, due to UDLB, M.max = (WL²/2)

    (- 10 × 5²)
    		 = - 125 kN.m.
    2

    Thus, total B.M. moment at point A (fixed end) = – 100 + (– 125) = – 225 kN.m.

    Correct Option: D

    7.8 to 7.9
    PERT value of time duration/Expected time (te)

    =
    (t0 + 4tm + t0)
    6

    Where, to = Optimistic time, tm = Most likely time, tp = Pessimistic time.
    Thus, (te) =
    (t0 + 4tm + t0)
    6

    =
    {(4 + (4 × 8) + 11}
    		 = 7.83 days.
