  2. A.
    two
    B.
    five
    C.
    ten
    D.

  3. Filtration rate is affected by the

  4. A.
    pressure drop across the cake & filter medium.
    B.
    cake & filter medium resistance.
    C.
    area of filtering surface & the viscosity of filtrate.
    D.
    all (a), (b) and (c).

  5. Liquid gradient over a tray can be minimised by

  6. A.
    providing a higher skirt clearance or a higher weir.
    B.
    decreasing the number of rows of caps through which the liquid flows or by decreasing the velocity of liquid flow past the caps or by reducing the distance along the tray through which the liquid must flow.

    D.
    all (a), (b) and (c).
