1. Most reliable power is
   1. Hydroelectric power
   2. Combined system and hydroelectric power
   3. Wind power
   4. Diesel powered

Option b

Hydroelectric power is generally considered very reliable because it is not dependent on weather conditions like wind power or solar power. Combining it with other forms of power generation can enhance reliability further by diversifying the sources and mitigating potential issues specific to each individual type of power generation.

2. “Cold frontal precipitation” is
   1. Small catchment area with heavy precipitation
   2. Small catchment area with moderate precipitation
   3. Large catchment area with heavy precipitation
   4. Large catchment area with moderate precipitation

Option a

A ‘Cold Front’ occurs when a cold air mass drives out a warm air mass, while a ‘Warm Front’ occurs when a warm air mass replaces the retreating cold air mass.

On the other side, if both air masses are driven towards a low-pressure area at the same time, the front that forms are called a ‘Stationary Front.’

The precipitation from a cold front is intense in a narrow area, whereas the precipitation from a warm front is less intense but dispersed over a greater area. Warm fronts move more slowly than cold fronts.

3. Number of professional engineers registered by the time 2078/12/31
   1. 71
   2. 61
   3. 51
   4. 41

Option b

4. Expected turn out of cement concrete 1:2:4 used per mason per day will be
   1. 1.5 m³
   2. 2.5 m³
   3. 3.5 m³
   4. 5.0 m³

Particulars of Item	Expected out-turn (m3)
Cement Concrete (1:2:4)	5.0
Lime concrete in foundation	8.50
Reinforced Brick work	1.00
R.C.C work	3.00
Brickwork in lime or cement mortar in foundation and Plinth	1.25

5. A simply supported beam having concentrated load at midpoint, the bending moment diagram is
   1. rectangle
   2. triangle
   3. parabolic
   4. semi-circle

Option b

BMD for simply supported beam is triangular for concentrated load.

For concentrated load at midspan BMD is isosceles triangle with maximum value \(\frac{PL}{4}\)
