Question 1

The quantity of sand required for RCC (1:2:4) for 15 cubic metres of work is A)4.76 m³ B)10.32 m³ C)8.43 m³ D)6.51 m³

Accepted Answer

D

Question 2

The quantity of coarse aggregate required for RCC (1:3:6) for 20 cubic metres of work is___________ A)18.24 m³ B)15.23 m³ C)24.87 m³ D)32.45 m³

Accepted Answer

For RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) mix 1:3:6, the total parts are 1+3+6 = 10 parts. Coarse aggregate part is 6 out of 10. For 20 cubic meters, the quantity of coarse aggregate = (6/10) * 20 = 12 cubic meters. However, considering bulking and wastage, which is not explicitly mentioned in the question, the closest available option is A) 18.24 m^3, assuming the question intended to include such considerations or there was a typographical error in the options provided.

Question 3

The unit of payment of cement concrete in lintels is_____________
A)per sqm
B)per cum
C)quintal
D)kilograms

Accepted Answer

The unit of payment for cement concrete in lintels is typically measured per cubic meter (per cum) because the volume is the most relevant measure for the quantity of concrete used in construction projects like lintels.

Question 4

Which of the following are parameters involved in computing the total cost of a software development project?
A)hardware and software costs
B)effort costs
C)travel and training costs
D)all of the mentioned

Accepted Answer

The total cost of a software development project includes hardware and software costs, effort costs (such as salaries and wages for the development team), and travel and training costs, among other possible expenses. Therefore, all of the mentioned options are parameters involved in computing the total cost.

Question 5

Which of the following costs is not part of the total effort cost?
A)costs of networking and communications
B)costs of providing heating and lighting office space
C)costs of lunch time food
D)costs of support staff

Accepted Answer

The total effort cost typically includes all costs directly related to the work effort, such as networking, office utilities, and support staff. Costs of lunch time food are generally considered personal expenses and not directly related to the work effort, thus not included in total effort cost.

Question 6

What is related to the overall functionality of the delivered software?
A)function-related metrics
B)product-related metrics
C)size-related metrics
D)none of the mentioned

Accepted Answer

Function-related metrics are directly associated with the overall functionality of the delivered software, as they measure aspects like the number of functions or features provided by the software.

Question 7

It is often difficult to estimate size at an early stage in a project when only a specification is available

Accepted Answer

At an early stage in a project, when only a specification is available, it can be challenging to accurately estimate size due to the lack of detailed information and the potential for changes as the project evolves.

Question 8

For First class building drawing room and dining room floors shall be of _____________
A)concrete
B)tiles
C)mosaic
D)wooden

Accepted Answer

Mosaic is often chosen for first-class building drawing room and dining room floors due to its aesthetic appeal and durability.

Question 9

For 2nd class building rain water pipes shall be of _____________finished painted.
A)cast iron
B)bog iron
C)brown ore
D)pyrite

Accepted Answer

For 2nd class buildings, rainwater pipes are typically made of cast iron, which is known for its durability and resistance to corrosion. Cast iron pipes are often finished with paint to further protect against the elements and to provide a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Question 10

Specification does not specify or describes the nature and the class off the work, materials to be used in the work, workmanship, etc.

Accepted Answer

The specification does not specify or describe the nature and the class of the work, materials to be used in the work, workmanship, etc.

Question 11

The specifications are written in a language so that they indicate what the work should be and words "shall be" or "should be" are used.

Accepted Answer

Specifications are written in a language that prescribes how work should be performed, often using terms like "shall be" or "should be" to indicate mandatory or advisory requirements respectively.

Question 12

General specification gives the nature and the class of the work and the materials in general terms.

Accepted Answer

General specifications outline the overall nature, class, and quality of the materials and workmanship for a construction project, without detailing every specific item.

Question 13

For first class building the foundation and plinth shall be of 1st class brickwork in lime mortar or 1:2 cement mortar over lime concrete or 1:6:7 cement concrete.

Accepted Answer

The statement is incorrect because the ratios mentioned for cement mortar and cement concrete are not standard. Typically, 1:6:7 is not a recognized mix ratio for cement concrete.

Question 14

For 2nd class building superstructure shall be of 1st class brickwork in lime mortar.

Accepted Answer

For a 2nd class building, the superstructure can be made of 2nd class brickwork, not necessarily 1st class brickwork in lime mortar. The classification typically refers to the quality and finish of the materials used, with 1st class being higher quality than 2nd class.

Question 15

For third class building flooring shall be of brick-on-edge floor over well rammed earth.

Accepted Answer

In third-class construction, flooring is typically made using bricks laid on edge over a base of well-compacted earth, which is a traditional and cost-effective method.

Question 16

For fourth class building the doors and windows shall be of_____________wood or country wood.
A)sal
B)neem
C)teak
D)mango

Accepted Answer

The answer of For fourth class building the doors and...

Question 17

The water proof mud- plaster consists of
A)soil
B)janta emulsion
C)cowdung
D)soil, janta emulsion and cowdung

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is D because traditional waterproof mud-plaster often consists of a mixture of soil, janta emulsion, and cow dung. This combination provides a natural waterproofing and binding effect, making the plaster durable and resistant to water penetration.

Question 18

The brick work is not measured in cu m in case of _____________
A)one or more than one brick wall
B)brick work in arches
C)reinforced brick work
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 19

The excavation exceeding 1.5 m in width and 10 sq. m in plan area with a depth not exceeding 30 cm, is termed as _____________
A)excavation
B)surface dressing
C)surface excavation
