Question No. 1
Assertion A: From consideration of structural soundness and economy of design, most codes control the maximum slenderness ratio of masonry walls and columns.
Reason R: By controlling the maximum slenderness ratio, failure is by excessive stress and not by buckling. Select your answer according to the codes given below:

(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(B) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
(C) A is true but R is false
(D) A is false but R is true

Answer: Option A

Question No. 2
Assertion A: Limiting value of slenderness ratio for a column is less than that of a wall.
Reason R: A column can buckle around either of the two horizontal axes while a wall can buckle around only one axis.
Select your answer according to the codes given below:

(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(B) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
(C) A is true but R is false
(D) A is false but R is true

Answer: Option A

Question No. 3

(A) More
(B) Less
(C) The same in both the cases
(D) 100 %

Answer: Option B

Question No. 7
Assertion A: For eccentricity ratio exceeding 1/6, the effective thickness of masonry will get reduced.
Reason R: For eccentricity ratio exceeding 1/6, there will be tension on one side of the member.
Select your answer according to the codes given below:

(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(B) Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A
(C) A is true but R is false
(D) A is false but R is true

Answer: Option A

(A) 0 6
(B) 0.75
(C) 0.85
(D) 0.95

Answer: Option C
