Best answer
The correct option is (b) Madras

For explanation: The terrace bricks of 15*7.5*2.5cm in size are laid on-edge in diagonal rows with lime mortar 1:11/2 proportion closely packed spanning over the beams. The brickwork is then cured by sprinkling with water for a period of 10 days. After the brickwork has set, a layer of lime concrete is laid and consolidated so as to give a compact thickness of 7.5cm and cured for 6 days.
