91. If is the rugosity coefficient, 'r' is the hydraulic depth, 's' is the bed slope of sewer, the velocity of flow in m/sec may be obtained by the formula V = (1/n) r2/3 s1/2 evolved by

  1. Chezy
  2. Manning
  3. Bazin
  4. Kutter

Correct answer: (B)
Manning

92. If q is the average sewage flow from a city of population P, the maximum sewage flow

  1. Q = [(4 + )/(18 + )] q
  2. Q = [(18 + P)/(4 + )] q
  3. Q = [(18 + )/(4 + )] q
  4. Q = [(5 + )/((15 + )] q

Correct answer: (C)
Q = [(18 + )/(4 + )] q

93. If the depletion of oxygen is found to be 2.5 mg/litre after incubating 2.5 ml of sewage diluted to 250 ml for 5 days at 20°C, B.O.D. of the sewage is
