I got this question in class test.

My question is from Component Parts of a Scaffolding topic in portion Scaffolding, Shoring and Underpinning of Construction & Building Materials

Answer 1

The correct answer is (b) Single scaffolding

To explain I would say: Single scaffolding or Bricklayers scaffolding consists of a single row of standards placed at a distance of about 1.20 m from the wall. The distance between the successive standards is above 2 metre to 2.50 m. The ledgers are then fixed to the standards at a vertical distance of about 1.20 metre to 1.80 metres.
