Pick up the correct statement from the following: The gully trap disconnects the sullage drain from the main drainage system In a gully trap, a water seal of 6 to 7.5 cm is provided The gully trap collects waste water from the kitchen, sink, wash basins, etc. The grating provided over gully traps is 23 cm square None Comment 11. The measurement is not made in square metres in case of D.P.C. (Damp proof course) Form works R.C. Chhajja Concrete Jeffries None 12. According to ISI method of measurement, the order of the sequence is Breadth, length, height Height, length, breadth Length, breadth, height None of these. None 13. The main factor to be considered while preparing a detailed estimate is Transportation of materials All the above Quantity of the materials Availability of materials None 14. Pick up the correct statement from the following: The estimated value of the work excluding the amount for contingencies, work charged establishment, tool and plants, is called work value The formal acceptance by the administrative department for incurring an expenditure on the work, is called administrative approval All the above The actual expenditure involved to complete a work including incidental, establishment and travelling charges, is called actual cost None 15. _______________ estimate is a detailed estimate and is prepared to maintain the structure or work in proper order and safe condition. Maintenance estimate Revised estimate Item rate estimate Supplementary and revised estimate None 16. While estimating a reinforced cement structure, the omitted cover of concrete is assumed For reinforcing longitudinal bar in a beam 25 mm minimum or diameter of the largest bar which is more At the end of reinforcing bar, not less than 25 mm or twice the diameter of the bar In thin slabs, 12 mm minimum or diameter of the bar whichever is more All the above None Comment 17. To make out an estimate for a work the following data are necessary-Drawing, Specification and ___________ materials Transportation labours rates None 18. The damp proof course (D.P.C.) is measured in meters sq.m None of these cub.m None 19. The excavation exceeding 1.5 m in width and 10 sq.m in plan area with a depth not exceeding 30cm, is termed as Excavation Cutting Surface dressing Surface excavation None 20. In this method approx. total length of walls is found in running metre and this total length multiplied by the rate per running metre of wall gives a fairly accurate cost.
