38.
The R.L. of ground water table on the sides of a valley is 1505 m whereas R.L. of the stream water is 1475 m. If 60° slope consists of pervious soil between R.L. 1485 m to 1500 m, the gravity spring may be expected at the point of reduced level
1500 m
1505 m
1475 m

The lower point is at RL 1475 m.

That's why answer C is right.

Water is under gravity, without any external energy it is quite impossible to goes to higher level.

@Prachi.

The answer is 1485 because the pressure is maximum here.

Azaad said:   5 years ago
Water will be at the lowest level due to gravity. Hence 1485 is correct.

@Ravi.

Why it can't be 1500?

Ravi said:   7 years ago
It's given that slop is previous between 1485 m to 1500 m and it means the remaining area is impervious. Hence the answer is 1485 m.
