Question 1

The desert sand is ________

Accepted Answer

B

Question 2

The water content in the emulsion is about ________

Accepted Answer

D

Question 3

The distance shown by red line represents

Accepted Answer

The distance shown by a red line when referring to tracks or similar contexts typically represents the "gauge," which is the distance between the inner sides of the two rails. Gauge is a crucial measurement in railway systems, determining the stability and compatibility of trains on the tracks.

Question 4

Name the organization which is the research and development wing of Indian Railways.

Accepted Answer

RDSO (Research Designs and Standards Organisation) is the research and development wing of the Indian Railways, responsible for the development of new and improved designs and standards for railway equipment and infrastructure.

Question 5

The Railways has a ________       degree of freedom for its movement.

Accepted Answer

The Railways has a single degree of freedom for its movement because it can only move along the track in two directions: forward and backward.

Question 6

Track modulus is defined as:

Accepted Answer

Track modulus is defined as the load per unit length of rail required to produce a unit depression or deflection in the track.

Question 7

The track modulus is not affected by gauges.

Accepted Answer

Track modulus, which reflects the stiffness of the railway track structure, can be influenced by various factors including the gauge of the track. Different gauges can result in different distributions of load over the track structure, potentially affecting the track modulus.

Question 8

Which of the following causes stresses in Sleepers?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following causes stresses in...

Question 9

There are ________         types of rail sections.

Accepted Answer

There are 3 types of rail sections commonly used: Double-headed rails, Bull-headed rails, and Flat-footed rails.

Question 10

How does the depth of ballast cushion affect rail section?

Accepted Answer

The answer of How does the depth of ballast cushion...

Question 11

The mountain alignment can be classified into ________       types.

Accepted Answer

Mountain alignments are generally classified into two types: longitudinal and transverse.

Question 12

What must be done to wooden sleepers before use?

Accepted Answer

Wooden sleepers must undergo seasoning, which is the process of drying out the timber to remove moisture. This makes the sleepers more durable and resistant to decay.

Question 13

Airports can be classified on how many basis?

Accepted Answer

Airports can be classified on four main bases: ownership, type of aircraft served, operations, and location.

Question 14

ICAO classification system considers how many things?

Accepted Answer

The answer of ICAO classification system considers how many things?
...

Question 15

The FAA classification of the airport is based on:

Accepted Answer

The answer of The FAA classification of the airport is...

Question 16

Which of the following is not a characteristic of centralized system of the terminal Area?

Accepted Answer

Centralized systems typically have larger, centralized passenger facilities rather than small units, to efficiently manage and route passengers and cargo.

Question 17

Which of the below does not affect the site- selection of an airport site?

Accepted Answer

The number of ground staff does not affect the site-selection of an airport site. Factors like adequate access, air traffic potential, and sufficient airspace are crucial for determining the location of an airport, as they directly impact its operational efficiency and safety. The number of ground staff is related to the airport's operations and can be adjusted based on the airport's size and capacity, making it irrelevant to the initial site selection process.

Question 18

Runways are oriented in a direction against the prevailing wind.

Accepted Answer

Runways are oriented to align with the prevailing wind to assist aircraft in taking off and landing into the wind, which provides better lift and control.

Question 19

The wind intensity during a calm period in runways should be:

Accepted Answer

The answer of The wind intensity during a calm period...

Question 20

The application of ________         diagram is used to find the orientation of the runway to get the desired wind coverage.

Accepted Answer

The wind rose diagram is used to find the orientation of the runway to ensure it aligns with the prevailing wind direction for optimal wind coverage, aiding in safer and more efficient takeoffs and landings.
