Consider a reinforced concrete beam section of 350 mm width and 600 mm depth. The beam is reinforced with the tension steel of 800 mm² area at an effective cover of 40 mm. Consider M20 concrete and Fe415 steel. Let the stress block considered for concrete in IS 456:2000 be replaced by an equivalent rectangular stress block, with no change in (a) the area of the stress block, (b) the design strength of concrete (at the strain of 0.0035), and (c) the location of neutral axis at flexural collapse. The ultimate moment of resistance of the beam (in kN.m) is _________________ (round off to the nearest integer).

Consider flow in a long and very wide rectangular open channel. Width of the channel can be considered as infinity compared to the depth of flow. Uniform flow depth is 1.0 m. The bed slope of the channel is 0.0001. The Manning roughness coefficient value is 0.02. Acceleration due to gravity,
can be taken as 9.81 m/s
.The critical depth (in m) corresponding to the flow rate resulting from the above conditions is _____ (round off to one decimal place).

In a locality, the houses are numbered in the following way:
The house-numbers on one side of a road are consecutive odd integers starting from 301, while the house-numbers on the other side of the road are consecutive even numbers starting from 302. The total number of houses is the same on both sides of the road.
If the difference of the sum of the house-numbers between the two sides of the road is 27, then the number of houses on each side of the road is
