Read the following instructions carefully.

  1. Write your name and registration number in the space provided at the bottom of this page.
  2. Take out the Optical Response Sheet (ORS) from this Question Booklet without breaking the seal.
  3. Do not open the seal of the Question Booklet until you are asked to do so by the invigilator.
  4. Write your registration number, your name and name of the examination centre at the specified locations on the right half of the ORS. Also, using HB pencil, darken the appropriate bubble under each digit of your registration number and the letters corresponding to your test paper code (CE).
  5. This Question Booklet contains 20 pages including blank pages for rough work. After opening the seal at the specified time, please check all pages and report discrepancy, if any.
  6. There are a total of 65 questions carrying 100 marks. All these questions are of objective type. Questions must be answered on the left hand side of the ORS by darkening the appropriate bubble (marked A, B, C, D) using HB pencil against the question number. For each question darken the bubble of the correct answer. In case you wish to change an answer, erase the old answer completely. More than one answer bubbled against a question will be treated as an incorrect response.
  7. Questions Q.1 – Q.25 carry 1-mark each, and questions Q.26 – Q.55 carry 2-marks each.
  8. Questions Q.48 – Q.51 (2 pairs) are common data questions and question pairs (Q.52, Q.53) and (Q.54, Q.55) are linked answer questions. The answer to the second question of the linked answer questions depends on the answer to the first question of the pair. If the first question in the linked pair is wrongly answered or is unattempted, then the answer to the second question in the pair will not be evaluated.
  9. Questions Q.56 – Q.65 belong to General Aptitude (GA). Questions Q.56 – Q.60 carry 1-mark each, and questions Q.61 – Q.65 carry 2-marks each. The GA questions begin on a fresh page starting from page 13.
  10. Unattempted questions will result in zero mark and wrong answers will result in NEGATIVE marks. For Q.1 – Q.25 and Q.56 – Q.60, ⅓ mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. For Q.26 – Q.51 and Q.61 – Q.65, ¾ mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. The question pairs (Q.52, Q.53), and (Q.54, Q.55) are questions with linked answers. There will be negative marks only for wrong answer to the first question of the linked answer question pair, i.e. for Q.52 and Q.54, ¾ mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. There is no negative marking for Q.53 and Q.55.
  11. Calculator is allowed whereas charts, graph sheets or tables are NOT allowed in the examination hall.
  12. Rough work can be done on the question paper itself. Additionally, blank pages are provided at the end of the question paper for rough work.

\(x_{i+1} = \frac{1}{2} \left( x_i + \frac{N}{x_i} \right)\)
B
\(x_{i+1} = \frac{1}{2} \left( x_i^2 + \frac{N}{x_i^2} \right)\)

Consider a reinforcing bar embedded in concrete. In a marine environment this bar undergoes uniform corrosion, which leads to the deposition of corrosion products on its surface and an increase in the apparent volume of the bar. This subjects the surrounding concrete to expansive pressure. As a result, corrosion induced cracks appear at the surface of concrete. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A
Corrosion causes circumferential tensile stresses in concrete and the cracks will be parallel to the corroded reinforcing bar.
B
Corrosion causes radial tensile stresses in concrete and the cracks will be parallel to the corroded reinforcing bar.
C
Corrosion causes circumferential tensile stresses in concrete and the cracks will be perpendicular to the direction of the corroded reinforcing bar.
D
Corrosion causes radial tensile stresses in concrete and the cracks will be perpendicular to the direction of the corroded reinforcing bar.
