Q1:

A concentrated load P is supported by the free end of a quadrantal ring AB whose end B is fixed. The ratio of the vertical to horizontal deflections of the end A, is

A π

B

C

D

ANS:B -

ΔV = Vertical deflection (deflection in the direction of load P) at end A.
ΔH = Horizontal deflection of end A.
