Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) False

To elaborate: During lime concreting in foundation if kankar lime is used 0.35 cu m of kanakar lime shall be used with 1 cu m ballast and no surkhi or sand or cinder shall be added. When brick ballast is not available, in hill areas, stone ballast 40 mm gauge, sand and white lime may be used in the same proportion as above.
