7. If the chosen diameter of a pipe, is less than the economical diameter
    (A) Cost of pipe will be less
    (B) Head loss will be high
    (C) Cost of pumping will be more than saving
    (D) All the above
8. Pick up the correct statement from the following:
    (A) The water level in a still well, represents the ground water table level
    (B) The difference between water table level and the water level in a well after pumping, is called depression head
    (C) The surface of water table surrounding a well during pumping, forms a cone of depression
    (D) All the above
9. The expected discharge to be obtained from an open well sunk in coarse sand is 0.0059 cumec. If the working depression head of the well is 3 m, the minimum diameter of the well, is

    (D) All the above
11. In centrifugal pump installation,
    (A) Pump is properly primed before starting
    (B) The diameter of the pipe at inlet as well as at outlet, is kept smaller than the delivery pipe

    (D) All the above
12. While determining the yield of open wells by the pumping test
    (A) Velocity of recharging water, increases with depression head
    (B) Depression head resulting at critical velocity, is called critical depression head
    (C) Working head is generally limited to ⅓rd of the critical depression head
