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

Water flowing from 1505 to 1475 right.

So the range of the pervious layer is from 1500 to 1485, so the possible lowest point the water can exit is 1485.

Therefore, option D is correct.

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.

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

Water will be at the lowest level due to gravity. Hence 1485 is correct.

No calculation is required it. The solution is based on observation.

@Prachi.

The answer is 1485 because the pressure is maximum here.

Divyesh said:   4 years ago
The lower point is at RL 1475 m.

That's why answer C is right.

How to calculate? Please explain.

Hesan said:   1 decade ago
Please calculate the question.

@Ravi.

Why it can't be 1500?
