Estimating And Costing Set 1 MCQs

Q1 | The rate of payment is made for 100 cu m (per % cu m) in case of

earth work in excavation

rock cutting

excavation in trenches for foundation

all the above

Q2 | The rate of an item of work depends on

specifications of works

specifications of materials

proportion of mortar

all the above

Q3 | The main factor to be considered while preparing a detailed estimate, is

quantity of the materials

availability of materials

transportation of materials

all the above

Q4 | Brick walls are measured in sq. m if the thickness of the wall is

10 cm

15 cm

20 cm

none of these

Q5 | The plinth area of a building not includes

area of the walls at the floor level

internal shaft for sanitary installations up to 2 sq m. in area

lift and wall including landing

area of cantilevered porch

Q6 | If the formation level of a highway has a uniform gradient for a particular length, and the ground isalso having a longitudinal slope, the earthwork may be calculated by

mid-section formula

trapezoidal formula

prismoidal formula

all the above

Q7 | A cement concrete road is 1000 m long, 8 m wide and 15 cm thick over the sub-base of 10 cm thickgravel. The box cutting in road crust is

500 m3

1000 m3

1500 m3

2000 m3

Q8 | While estimating the qualities for the construction of a building, the correct metric unit is

metre for length

cubic metre for area

square metres for volume

litre for capacity

Q9 | The brick work is not measured in cu m in case of

one or more than one brick wall

brick work in arches

reinforced brick work

half brick wall

Q10 | The assumption on which the trapezoidal formula for volumes is based, is

the end sections are parallel planes

the mid-area of a pyramid is half the average area of the ends

the volume of the prismoidal is over-estimated and hence a prismoidal correction is applied

all the above

Q11 | In the mid-section formula

the mean depth is the average of depths of two consecutive sections

the area of mid-sections is calculated by using mean depth

the volume of the earth work is calculated by multiplying the mid-section area by the distance between the two original sections

all of the above

Q12 | Pick up the correct statement from the following:

the earth work of cutting in trenches or borrow pits in fairly uniform ground is measured with the help of average depths of the dead men

the earth work in trenches or borrow pits in irregular ground is measured by taking the difference in levels before and after completion of work

the earth work in trenches or borrow pits, where neither a nor b is feasible, are measured from the fillings after deduction of voids

all the above

Q13 | The cross-sections for a highway is taken at

right angle to the centre line

30 metres apart

intermediate points having abrupt change in gradient

all the above

Q14 | Referring of given figure, pick up the correct statement from the following:

the total length of centre line of four walls is 20 m

length of long wall out-to-out is 6.80 m

length of short walls in-to-in is 3.20 m

all the above

Q15 | According to Indian Standards Institute, the actual size of modular bricks is

23 cm × 11.5 cm × 7.5 cm

25 cm × 13 cm × 7.5 cm

19 cm × 9 cm × 9 cm

20 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm

Q16 | The following item of earth work is not measured separately.

setting out of works

site clearance

steps in deep excavation

all the above

Q17 | The measurement is made in square metre in case of

cement concrete in foundation

r.c.c. structure

hollow concrete block wall

none of these

water closets

flushing pipes

lavatory basins

all the above

Q19 | 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

surface dressing

cutting

surface excavation

Q20 | For the construction of buildings, the subheads of the estimate are

earthwork, concrete work, brick work

brickwork, stone work, roofing

brickwork flooring, wood work, steel work

all the above

Q21 | Pick up the correct statement from the following:

pointing is measured in sq.m

plastering is measured in sq.m

glazing is measured in sq.m

all the above

Q22 | The cross-section of a road partly in banking and partly in cutting is shown in the given figure. Thearea of the shaded portion is

b - rd)²/(r - s)

b - rd)²/(r + s)

½ × (b + rd)²/(r - s)

b - rd)²/(s - r)

Q23 | Pick up the correct statement from the following:

if the bed level is above n.s.l. the canal is called fully in baking and the berms are designed as 3 d where d is full supply depth of water (f.s.d.)

area of canal in cutting = bd + sd 2 where b = bed width, d = depth of cutting and s is the side slope

if f.s.l. is above n.s.l the canal is called partly in cutting and partly in filling and berms are designed as 2d where d is full supply depth

all the above

Q24 | Pick up the incorrect statement from the following:

no deduction is made for the volume occupied by reinforcement

no deduction is made for the openings upto 0.1 sq.m

no deduction is made for volumes occupied by pipes, not exceeding 100 sq.cm in crosssection

none of these
