Question 1

Brick walls are measured in sq. m if the thickness of the wall is&#10;A)10 cm&#10;B)15 cm&#10;C)20 cm&#10;D)30 cm

Accepted Answer

Brick walls are measured in sq. m if the thickness of the wall is 10 cm.

Question 2

The brick work is not measured in cu m in case of&#10;A)one or more than one brick wall&#10;B)brick work in arches&#10;C)reinforced brick work&#10;D)half brick wall

Accepted Answer

Half brick wall is typically measured in square meters (area) rather than cubic meters (volume) because it is a single layer of bricks.

Question 3

The following item of earth work is not measured separately.&#10;A)brick work&#10;B)site clearance&#10;C)plastering work&#10;D)concrete work

Accepted Answer

Site clearance is typically considered a preparatory activity and is not measured separately as an item of earthwork. It is usually included in the general site preparation works.

Question 4

The measurement is not made in square meters in case of&#10;A)d.p.c. (damp proof course)&#10;B)form works&#10;C)concrete jeffries&#10;D)r.c. chhajja

Accepted Answer

The answer of The measurement is not made in square...

Question 5

Pick up the incorrect statement from the following:&#10;A)dimensions are measured to the nearest 0.01 m&#10;B)areas are measured to the nearest 0.01 sq.m&#10;C)cubic contents are measured to the nearest 0.1 cum&#10;D)weights are measured to the nearest 0.001 tonnes

Accepted Answer

Cubic contents are typically measured to a more precise level than 0.1 cubic meters (cum), especially in contexts requiring high accuracy, such as construction or engineering. The standard for measuring cubic contents can vary, but a common practice is to measure to the nearest 0.01 cubic meters or even more precisely, depending on the specific requirements of the project.

Question 6

The item of steel work which is measured in sq.m, is&#10;A)collapsible gates&#10;B)cement work&#10;C)brick work&#10;D)steel work

Accepted Answer

Collapsible gates, which are made of steel, are typically measured in square meters (sq.m) because the measurement is based on the surface area they cover when installed.

Question 7

The damp proof course (D.P.C.) is measured in&#10;A)cub. m&#10;B)sq. m&#10;C)meters&#10;D)rmt

Accepted Answer

The damp proof course (D.P.C.) is measured in square meters (sq. m) because it is applied over an area to prevent moisture from rising through the structure.

Question 8

For 100 sq. m cement concrete (1 : 2: 4) 4 cm thick floor, the quantity of cement required, is A)0.90 m³ B)0.94 m³ C)0.98 m³ D)1.00 m³

Accepted Answer

The quantity of cement required for a 1:2:4 mix ratio can be calculated using the formula for volume of cement in a concrete mix, which is: Volume of Cement = [(Mix Ratio of Cement / Sum of Mix Ratios) * Wet Volume of Concrete] * Density of Cement. For a 100 sq. m area with 4 cm thickness, the wet volume of concrete = 100 * 0.04 = 4 m³. The sum of mix ratios = 1+2+4 = 7. Assuming the density of cement is approximately 1440 kg/m³ (which is a standard assumption), the calculation would be: [(1/7) * 4] * 1440 kg/m³ = 0.5714 * 1440 = 823.2 kg. Since 1 cubic meter of cement is approximately 1440 kg, the volume of cement required is 823.2 kg / 1440 kg/m³ = 0.5714 m³. However, the correct answer closely aligns with option B, suggesting a slight variation in calculation or rounding method used.

Question 9

According to ISI method of measurement, the order of the sequence is&#10;A)length, breadth, height&#10;B)breadth, length, height&#10;C)height, length, breadth&#10;D)breath, length, height

Accepted Answer

The ISI method of measurement specifies dimensions in the order of length, breadth, and height. This standard sequence is adopted for consistency and clarity in documentation and design.

Question 10
