Question 1
A transport company operates a scheduled daily truck service between P
and city Q. One-way journey time between these two cities is 85 hours. A
minimum layover time of 5 hours is to be provided at each city. How
many trucks are required to provide this service?

A 4

B 6

C 7

D 8

Oops! Wrong answer!

Operates scheduled daily truck.

If a truck starts on Monday, then number of days required to return
back = (85-25)

So, if a truck starts journey the same truck will be available only on
8th day for the new

journey between P and Q cities. So, including this truck addition 7

trucks are required for
daily service.
Hence, no. of trucks required 7+1=8

Question 2
A vehicle moving at 60 kmph on an ascending gradient of a highway has
to come to stop position to avoid collision with a stationary object. The
ratio of lag to brake distance is 6:5. Considering total reaction time of the
driver as 2.5 seconds and the coefcient of longitudinal friction as 0.36,
the value of ascending gradient (%) is

A 3.3

B 4.8

C 5.3

D 6.8

Correct answer

Given, V = 60 kmph
= 16.67 m, g
= 9.81 m2/s
f = 0.36
and t = 2.5 sec

Question 3
If the standard deviation of the spot speed of vehicles in a highway is 8.8
kmph and the mean speed of the vehicles is 33kmph, the coefcient of
variation in speed is

A 0.1517

B 0.1867

C 0.2666

D 0.3646

Oops! Wrong answer!

Standard deviation of spot speed of vehicles = 8.8 kmph

Mean speed of vehicles = 33 kmph

Question 4
A vehicle negotiates a transition curve with uniform speed v. If the radius
of the horizontal curve and the allowable jerk and R and J, respectively,
the minimum length of the transition curve is

Oops! Wrong answer!

Length of transition curve is generally worked out from some

methods for e.g., 1. rate of change of radial acceleration 2 radial
change in super elevation.

From which, here rate of change of radial acceleration

Jerk is the rate of change of acceleration.

Therefore,

Question 5
A vehicle moving at 50 kmph speed was stopped by applying the brake
and the length of skid mark was 16.5 m. If the average skid resistance of
the pavement is known to be 0.687. What is the brake efciency (in%) of

A 43.36

B 65.04

C 86.75

Correct answer

Speed = 50 Kmph
Breaking distance, L = 16.5 m
Skid resistance, f = 0.687

Question 6
Spot speed studies were carried out at a certain stretch of a highway
with mixed trafc. What is the upper speed limitation for regulation and

A 98th and 85th

B 85th and 98th

C 98th and 15th

D 85th and 15th

Correct answer

Upper speed limit for regulation = 85th percentile speed

Lower speed limit for regulation = 15th percentile speed
Speed to check geometric design elements = 98th percentile speed

A a descending gradient meets another descending gradient.

B a descending gradient meets a at gradient.

an ascending gradient meets another more ascending

C
gradient.

D an ascending gradient meets a descending gradient.

Question 10
In a redundant joint model, three bar members are pin connected at Q as
shown in the gure. Under some load placed at Q, the elongation of the
members MQ and OQ are found to be 48 mm and 35 mm respectively.
Then the horizontal displacement u and the vertical displacement v or
the node Q, in mm, will be respectively.

A 6.64 and 56.14

B 6.64 and 56.14

C 0.0 and 59.41

D 59.41 and 0.0

Correct answer

Clearly, position of bar members becomes

Both the displacements take place positive values.

So, we have only one option, i.e. 6.64 and 56.14.
