TGPSC HMWSSB Manager 2015 Paper 2 · Question 86
Question 86 of the TSPSC Manager (Engineering), HMWSSB, 2015: Paper 2 (Civil Engineering) (1 November 2015). Try it first, then open the answer and explanation.
If a sewer carrying a discharge of 3 cumecs outfalls into a river having a discharge of 10 cumecs and DO equal to 9.1mg/lt, the resultant DO of the mix will be equal to
- 5mg/lt
- 6mg/lt
- 7mg/lt
- 8mg/lt
Show answer
Answer: (3) 7mg/lt
Taking the DO of raw sewage as zero, the mixed DO = (10 × 9.1 + 3 × 0)/(10 + 3) = 91/13 = 7 mg/lt.
