MCQ
281. Which of the following is an example of silicious rock? [MES-18]
granite
gneiss

45 kg
50 kg
60 kg
65 kg
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Weight of 1 bag cement = 50 kg = 0.0347 m^3 = 1.25 fr^3.
289. A good building stone is one which does not absorb more than....of its weight of water after one day's immersion- [BREB-15, MES-18]
5%
10%
15%
25%
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: A good building stone shouldn't absorb more than 5%
water but stone absorbing more than 10% should be rejected.
290. The volume of cement in one bag is [MES-16]
1.00 cft
1.50 cft
1.25 cft
1.15 cft
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Density of cement in loose conditions = 1440 kg/m²
Mass of one bag cement = 50 kg
Volume =Mass/ Density = 50/1440
= 0.0347 cum
= 0.0347x35.3147 = 1.225 cft

ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: The elements of portland cement are lime or calcium oxide, silica, alumina, iron oxide, Magnesium oxide. But the main elements of portland cement are lime and silica.
292. The portion of bricks at across the width in half is called- [MOCA-19]
half sprit
half closer
half bed

293. Laterite is chemically classified as [MES-18]
calcareous rock
argillaceous rock
silicious rock
metamorphic rock
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Laterite is chemically classified as Argillaceous rock (আগ্নেয় শিলা) Laterite is a red coloured clayey material wich forms a topsoil in tropical regions. It is hard when it is dry.
294. Which of the following is an example of argillaceous rock? [MES-18]
kaolin
slate
laterite
all of these
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: The rocks in which clay content is
predominant are called argillaccous rock
The rocks are soft in nature and with the
presence of water they can be crumbled
easily some of the argillaceous rocks are
shale, slate, kaolin, literate etc.
