6 c Explain the following: 9 CO4 PO2 L2 i. Permeability of concrete ii. Significance of durability of concrete
***** 1. Part – A is compulsory and set ONE question from each unit. A student shall answer for all questions for a max, of 10 marks.
2. From Part – B set 3 sub questions for 9 marks each in all units(except Unit II) and a student must answer any 2 sub questions for a max, of 18 marks from each unit.
3. If any of the questions exceeds the marks of 9, then the student has to answer for a total of 18 marks in that unit, as mentioned in the question of Unit II i.e. the student has to answer either 2a & 2b or 2c is mandatory.
4. From Part – B, in case of problematic question carry > 9 mark in any unit, set 2 sub questions for same marks & third one is compulsory (say in unit – II, 2a & 2b are 14 mark each and 2c is for 4 mark), so that a student must answer 2a or 2b and 2c is compulsory.
5. From Part – B, in case of problematic question carry > 9 mark in any unit, Choice will be given for question carries highest mark and lesser mark question is compulsory.
