The question was posed to me in an online interview.

Question is taken from Measurement and Calculation of Quantities topic in portion Methods of Building Estimate & Estimate of Building of Civil Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

The correct answer is (b) 4’*2′

Best explanation: A casement window is a window with a hinged sash that swings in or out like a door comprising either a side-hung, top-hung (also called “awning window”; see below), or occasionally bottom-hung sash or a combination of these types, sometimes with fixed panels on one or more sides of the sash. In the USA, these are usually opened using a crank, but in parts of Europe they tend to use projection friction stays and espagnolette locking. Formerly, plain hinges were used with a casement stay. Handing applies to casement windows to determine direction of swing; a casement window may be left-handed, right-handed, or double. The casement window is the dominant type now found in modern buildings in the UK and many other parts of Europe.
