4. The Smith-Brinkley (SB) method, rates a column on basis of
a) Initial sequence of the stages
b) Reverse sequence of its stages
c) Forward sequence of its stages
d) Straight Sequence
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The Smith-Brinkley (SB) method rates a column on basis of Reverse sequence of its stages, so to obtain top to bottom approach.

5. For a change in temperature ______ is added to tn.
a) Half
b) One fourth
c) Two third
d) Square
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: For a change in temperature half is added to tn and half to tm, this acts as an average value between them¬ provides accuracy.
