Q. The value of the function f(x) is given at n distinct values of x and its value is to be interpolated at the point x*, using all the n points. The estimate is obtained first by the Lagrange polynomial, denoted by IL, and then by the Newton polynomial, denoted by IN. Which one of
Q. The notation “SC” as per Indian Standard Soil Classification System refers to (A) Sandy clay (B) Silty clay (C) Clayey silt (D) Clayey sand Ans:Clayey sand Solution: In the Indian Standard Soil Classification System, “SC” is used to denote soils that are clayey silt in nature. This means the soil contains a significant proportion
