1Evaluate the definite integral ∫₀² (3x² + 2) dx.

A.12

B.10

C.14

D.8

Explanation: ∫₀² (3x² + 2) dx = [x³ + 2x]₀² = (8 + 4) − 0 = 12. Polynomial integration is routine in structural and hydraulic derivations.

2A sample of five concrete cylinder strengths (MPa) is 22, 24, 26, 28, 30. What is the sample standard deviation (n−1 denominator)?

A.2.83 MPa

B.3.16 MPa

C.4.00 MPa

D.2.45 MPa

Explanation: Mean = 26 MPa. Sample variance s² = [(−4)²+(−2)²+0+2²+4²]/(5−1) = 40/4 = 10, so s ≈ 3.16 MPa. QC charts for concrete rely on such statistics.

3For matrix [[4, 1], [2, 3]], what is the larger eigenvalue?

A.5

B.2

C.3

D.1

Explanation: det([[4−λ,1],[2,3−λ]]) = (4−λ)(3−λ)−2 = λ²−7λ+10 = 0 → λ = 5 or 2. The larger eigenvalue is 5.

4Two variables have Pearson correlation r = −0.85. This indicates:

A.No linear association

B.Strong positive linear association

C.Perfect negative correlation

D.Strong negative linear association

Explanation: r = −0.85 is close to −1, showing a strong inverse linear trend. Regression and trend analysis in hydrology and traffic studies use r routinely.

5A 10 kN vertical force acts at the free end of a 2 m cantilever. The fixed-end bending moment magnitude is:

A.20 kN·m

B.10 kN·m

C.5 kN·m

D.40 kN·m

Explanation: For a point load P at the tip, M_fixed = P×L = 10×2 = 20 kN·m. Sign conventions matter, but magnitude is F×lever arm.

6A projectile is launched horizontally at 20 m/s from a 45 m high cliff (g = 10 m/s²). Time to reach ground (neglect air resistance) is:

A.4.5 s

B.3 s

C.2 s

D.6 s

Explanation: Vertical fall: h = ½gt² → t = √(2h/g) = √(90/10) = 3 s. Horizontal velocity does not affect time of flight.

7A 5 kN block rests on a horizontal plane with coefficient of static friction μₛ = 0.4. Maximum horizontal force to start motion is:

A.5 kN

B.12.5 kN

C.2 kN

D.0.4 kN

Explanation: Limiting friction F_max = μₛN = μₛW on a horizontal surface = 0.4×5 = 2 kN. Until exceeded, the block remains at rest.

8A wheel of radius 0.5 m rotates at 120 rpm. Its rim linear speed is approximately:

A.3.14 m/s

B.12.56 m/s

C.60 m/s

D.6.28 m/s

Explanation: ω = 120×2π/60 = 4π rad/s. v = ωr = 4π×0.5 ≈ 6.28 m/s. Rotational-to-translational conversion appears in machinery and conveyor design.

9A whole-circle bearing of 225° converts to a reduced bearing (quadrant notation) of:

A.S 45° W

B.N 45° W

C.S 45° E

D.N 45° E

Explanation: 225° lies in the SW quadrant: south baseline with 45° west, written S 45° W. Quadrant bearings are standard on site plans in Pakistan.

10A levelling staff reading of 1.850 m is taken on a benchmark RL 100.000 m with the instrument at unknown height. If the next reading on a point is 2.450 m, the RL of that point is:

A.100.600 m

B.99.400 m

C.98.550 m

D.101.150 m

Explanation: HI = 100.000 + 1.850 = 101.850 m. RL_point = HI − 2.450 = 99.400 m. Higher staff reading means lower ground elevation.

PEC EPE Civil Study Tips from Top Performers

1Map Breadth hours to syllabus weights (math/mechanics/materials/fluids/solids/hydrology/geotech/structures each ~10% of Breadth)

2Choose a Depth track that matches your daily practice (e.g., Structures for design office work)

3Build a tabbed open-book kit early—Part-II rewards fast lookups of design tables and code clauses

4Practice timed 60-question sets in three hours to match Part-II pacing

5Keep Part-I (management, ethics, environment, hazards, communication) warm if attempting both parts the same day

6Confirm cycle dates, centres, and fee voucher rules on cpd.pec.org.pk before applying

7Log errors by syllabus outcome so retakes target weak Breadth or Depth clusters

8Only bring a simple calculator—programmable devices and phones are prohibited

Frequently Asked Questions

How many questions are on PEC EPE Civil Part-II?

Part-II Civil & Allied has 60 multiple-choice questions: 25 Breadth (Section A) plus 35 Depth in your opted specialization (Section B). The paper lasts three hours and is open-book for bound books and standards only.

What is the passing score for EPE Part-II?

You must score at least 60% in Part-II. Part-I and Part-II are passed independently; failing one part does not cancel a pass in the other within the allowed retake window.

What Depth specializations can Civil candidates opt?

Per the official Civil & Allied syllabus, Depth options include Structures, Transportation, Geotechnical, Construction Management, Water Resources, Environmental Engineering, Urban Engineering, and Building & Architectural Engineering. Attempt only the Depth area you select.

Who is eligible to sit for the EPE?

A PEC Registered Engineer with at least five years of relevant practical experience since registration (to the announcement closing date) and at least 17 CPD credit points since 10 July 2010 or initial registration, whichever is later.

Is Part-II open book?

Yes. Part-II allows books and bound copies of standards/texts as described for the discipline. Loose notes, handouts, and electronic devices (except a simple calculator) are not permitted.

How is the EPE fee paid?

Fees are published on each cycle’s notice. Payment must be made through a Bank Alfalah system-generated voucher from the CPD portal; deposits by other methods are not accepted. Always confirm the current amount before paying.
