1. This question paper contains all objective questions. Q.1 to Q.30 carry one mark each
and Q.31 to Q.80 carry two marks each. Q. 81 to Q. 85 each contains part “a” and “b”.
In these questions, parts “a” as well as “b” carry two marks each.
2. Answer all the questions.
3. Questions must be answered on special machine gradable Objective Response Sheet
(ORS) by darkening the appropriate bubble (marked A, B, C, D) against the question
number on the left hand side of the ORS, using HB pencil. Each question has only one
correct answer. In case you wish to change an answer, erase the old answer completely
using a good soft eraser.
4. There will be NEGATIVE marking. In Q.1 to Q.30, 0.25 mark will be deducted for each
wrong answer and in Q.31 to Q.80, 0.5 mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. In
Q.81 to Q.85, for the part “a”, 0.5 mark will be deducted for a wrong answer. Marks for
correct answers to part “b” of Q.81 to Q.85 will be given only if the answer to the
corresponding part “a” is correct. However, there is no negative marking for part “b” of
Q. 81 to Q.85. More than one answer bubbled against a question will be deemed as an
incorrect response.

Naval Research Lab (NRL) method of determining casting riser size is essentially
a simplification of Caine’s method. It defines a shape factor to replace freezing
ratio used in Caine’s method. The shape factor is defined as
Length + width
=
Thickness
The length, width and thickness are computed from the maximum dimensions of
the casting section. Then the ratio of riser volume to casting volume is obtained
from graph. From riser volume, dimensions of riser can be found. It has been
proven empirically that for side risers the height to diameter ratio be 1 and for top
riser it be 0.5.
For circular plates, the length and width are same as that of diameter. But for
cylinders, the width and the thickness are same as the diameter for calculating
shape factor. For hollow cylindrical shapes, a correction factor (k) is applied to
get effective plate thickness. If ‘T’ is true wall thickness, then correction factor is

σ = 1400 (ε) 0.33 . At maximum load, true strain ε is equal to strain hardening
exponent n. Hence ε = n .

Allowance is a dimensional difference between the maximum material limits of
mating parts, intentionally provided to obtain desired class of fit. If the allowance
is positive, it will result in minimum clearance between the mating parts and if
allowance is negative, it will result in maximum interference.
Allowance = min. hole size − max. pin size
Personal = 1.9985 − 1.9975 = 0.001 mm.

Out of 100 units, only 80 units are transferred to joint and out of transferred heat
only 62.5% is used for melting.
∴ Heat supplied = V × I × 0.8 × 0.625

Silicon is a strong graphitizer and promotes graphitization. Most of the
phosphorus combines with iron and forms iron phosphide (Fe3P) . This iron
phosphide separates as eutectic (low melting point) mixture with cementite and
austentite. Sulphur combines with iron and forms iron sulphide which is hard and
brittle compound. Further, sulphur in the form of FeS promotes formation of iron
carbide without participating in its formation. It has strong effect as carbide
stabilizer and 0.01% sulphur is sufficient to neutralize the graphitizing influence
of 0.15% silicon and hence resists the formation of graphite.
