Q1Consider the following statements about the track slab manufacturing facility near Anand: 1. The facility was opened near Anand in Gujarat. 2. It was designed for production of 45,000 precast track slabs for the MAHSR project. 3. Approximately 2,000 track slabs are required per track kilometre. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. Statement 3 is false: NHSRCL says approximately 200, not 2,000, track slabs are required per track kilometre.
Q2Consider the following statements: 1. There will be three rolling-stock maintenance depots in the MAHSR corridor. 2. The depots will be located at Surat, Thane and Sabarmati. 3. Surat depot will have facilities for bogie and general overhauling in addition to regular inspections. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1 and 2 are true. Statement 3 is false because bogie and general overhauling facilities are specified for Sabarmati depot, not Surat depot.
Q31. The J-slab ballastless track system for the MAHSR project has pre-cast track slabs on an RC track bed. 2. The RC track bed for the slab system is about 300 mm thick. 3. Cement asphalt mortar is used between the track slab and the RC track bed. 4. The J-slab system uses loose stone ballast between sleepers and rails. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statement 1 is true because the official release describes pre-cast track slabs on an RC track bed. Statement 2 is true because it gives the RC track bed thickness as about 300 mm. Statement 3 is true because CAM is injected between the slab and the RC bed. Statement 4 is false because this is described as ballastless slab track technology, not a loose stone ballast system.
Q4Consider the following statements: 1. The MAHSR corridor will use a J-Slab ballastless track system based on the Japanese Shinkansen track system. 2. NHSRCL lists RC track bed, cement asphalt mortar, pre-cast track slab and rails with fasteners as the four main components of this system. 3. Track installation is described as primarily manual because Japanese construction practices avoid mechanised laying. 4. NHSRCL states that all track construction machines for this system are imported without any technology transfer. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statement 1 is correct: the J-Slab ballastless system is based on Japanese Shinkansen track. Statement 2 is correct: those four components are listed. Statement 3 is incorrect because the process is described as fully mechanized. Statement 4 is incorrect because NHSRCL says most machines are manufactured in India and one type involves technology transfer from Japan.
Q5Consider the following statements about earthquake-safety arrangements for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail corridor: 1. Twenty-eight seismometers are planned for the early earthquake detection system. 2. Twenty-two of these seismometers are to be installed along the alignment. 3. The six inland seismometers are to be installed only in Rajasthan. 4. The system is intended to enable automatic power shutdown and emergency braking. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1, 2 and 4 are correct: NHSRCL describes 28 seismometers, 22 along the alignment, and automatic power shutdown/emergency braking. Statement 3 is false because the inland seismometers are to be in seismically vulnerable areas of Maharashtra and Gujarat, not Rajasthan.
