Identify the waterborne diseases caused by viral pathogens:
Show Hint
- Acute anterior poliomyelitis
- Cholera
- Infectious hepatitis
- Typhoid fever
The Correct Option is A, C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Recall the causative agents of each disease.
- Acute anterior poliomyelitis (Polio): Caused by the poliovirus (a viral pathogen), and can be transmitted through contaminated water.
- Cholera: Caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, not a virus.
- Infectious hepatitis (Hepatitis A \& E): Caused by Hepatitis viruses (A and E), which spread through contaminated water.
- Typhoid fever: Caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhi, not a virus.
Step 2: Identify viral waterborne diseases.
Thus, among the given options, the viral diseases are:
- (A) Acute anterior poliomyelitis
- (C) Infectious hepatitis
\[
\boxed{\text{Correct options: (A) and (C)}}

Top Questions on Quality of Water
- A 100 mg of HNO$_3$ (strong acid) is added to water, bringing the final volume to 1.0 liter. Consider the atomic weights of H, N, and O, as 1 g/mol, 14 g/mol, and 16 g/mol, respectively. The final pH of this water is (Ignore the dissociation of water.)

- The hardness of a water sample is measured directly by titration with 0.01 M solution of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) using eriochrome black T (EBT) as an indicator. The EBT reacts and forms complexes with divalent metallic cations present in the water. During titration, the EDTA replaces the EBT in the complex. When the replacement of EBT is complete at the end point of the titration, the colour of the solution changes from

Questions Asked in GATE CE exam
Consider a reinforced concrete beam section of 350 mm width and 600 mm depth. The beam is reinforced with the tension steel of 800 mm\(^2\) 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).

Two soils of permeabilities \( k_1 \) and \( k_2 \) are placed in a horizontal flow apparatus, as shown in the figure. For Soil 1, \( L_1 = 50 \, {cm} \), and \( k_1 = 0.055 \, {cm/s} \); for Soil 2, \( L_2 = 30 \, {cm} \), and \( k_2 = 0.035 \, {cm/s} \). The cross-sectional area of the horizontal pipe is 100 cm², and the head difference (\( \Delta h \)) is 150 cm. The discharge (in cm³/s) through the soils is ........
