Question

Referring to the figure below, pick up the correct statement from the following.

(a) The total length of centre line of four walls is 20 m

(b) Length of long wall out-to-out is 6.80 m

(c) Length of short walls in-to-in is 3.20 m

(d) Total length of four wall – 20 m, length of short wall – 6.8 m

The question was asked during a job interview.

Query is from Estimate of Single & Double Room Building topic in chapter Methods of Building Estimate & Estimate of Building of Civil Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Right choice is (d) Total length of four wall – 20 m, length of short wall – 6.8 m

The best I can explain: Total length is (long wall) 6.80. So, centre to centre length 6.80-80 = 6, 2 wall so 6+6 = 12.

Total length of short wall 4.80. So, centre to centre length 4.80-80 = 4, 2 wall so 4+4 = 8. Total length of center to centre 4 wall = 20 m.

 Length of short wall in-to-in is 4.80-(80+80) = 3.20 m.
