The four major canals Sirhind, Bhakra, Narwana branch and Sutlej-Yamuna Link Canal passing through which of the following districts of Punjab?

Correct Answer: Fatehgarh Sahib
Fatehgarh Sahib district is bounded by Ludhiana and Rupnagar in the North, Patiala in the South, SAS Nagar in the East and Sangrur in the West. It is the second least populous district of Punjab. Four major canals passing through the district are Sirhind Canal, Bhakra Canal, Narwana branch and Sutlej-Yamuna Link Canal.

Which of the following is the incorrect statement? i. Cattle crossings also provide safety to cattle that are swept away by currents besides their usual function of helping the cattle to cross the canal. ii. A canal escape helps in supplying irrigation water to the downstream watercourses. iii. Bed bars are constructed in canals at the toe of the canal lining to prevent slippage of the lining.

Consider the following statements
1. In 1950, two separate states were created, Punjab included the former Raj province of Punjab, while Princely States were combined into a new state, the Patiala and East Punjab States Union. (PEPSU).
2. In 1956, PEPSU was merged into the Punjab state.
3. Shimla was named temporary capital of the Punjab.
4. Himachal Pradesh was created as a Union Territory from several Princely states and Kangra district.
Which of the statement(s) is/are correct?

Choose the incorrect statement. i. Bed bars are constructed in canals at the toe of the canal lining to prevent slippage of the lining. ii. Cattle crossings also provide safety to cattle that are swept away by currents besides their usual function of helping the cattle to cross the canal. iii. A canal escape helps in supplying irrigation water to the downstream watercourses.

In a two-source circuit, one source acting alone produces 12 mA through a given branch. The other source acting alone produces 10 mA in the opposite direction through the same branch. The actual current through the branch is

Bhakra canal and Western Yamuna canal are connected by which feeder project?

“In any linear bilateral network, if a source of e.m.f. E in any branch produces a current I in any other branch, then same e.m.f. acting in the second branch would produce the same current / in the first branch”. The above statement is associated with

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives and click the button corresponding to it. The Alaska pipeline starts at the frozen edge of the Arctic Ocean. It stretches southward across the largest and northernmost state in the United States, ending at a remote ice-free seaport village nearly 800 miles from where it begins. It is massive in size and extremely complicated to operate. The steel pipe crosses windswept plains and endless miles of delicate tundra that tops the frozen ground. It weaves through crooked canyons, climbs sheer mountains, plunges over rocky crags, makes its way through thick forests, and passes over or under hundreds of rivers and streams. The pipe is 4 feet in diameter, and up to 2 million barrels (or 84 million gallons) of crude oil can be pumped through it daily. Resting on H-shaped steel racks called "bents", long sections of the pipeline follow a zigzag course high above the frozen earth. Other long sections drop out of sight beneath spongy or rocky ground and return to the surface later on. The pattern of the pipeline's up-and-down route is determined by the often harsh demands of the arctic and subarctic climate, the tortuous lay of the land, and the varied compositions of soil, rock, or permafrost (permanently frozen ground). A little more than half of the pipeline is elevated above the ground. The remainder is buried anywhere from 3 to 12 feet, depending largely upon the type of terrain and the properties of the soil. One of the largest in the world, the pipeline cost approximately $8 billion and is by far the biggest and most expensive construction project ever undertaken by private industry. In fact, no single business could raise that much money, so 8 major oil companies formed a consortium in order to share the costs. Each company controlled oil rights to particular shares of land in the oil fields and paid into the pipeline-construction fund according to the size of its holdings. Today, despite enormous problems of climate, supply shortage, equipment breakdowns, labour disagreements, treacherous terrain, a certain amount of mismanagement, and even theft, the Alaska pipeline has been completed and is operating.
Which of the following were not problems faced while constructing the pipeline?
