A site plan as per KMBR must be drawn to a minimum scale of 1:400, whereas as per NBC the corresponding minimum scale is —
1:1000
1:800
1:500 (for ≤1 ha)
1:10,000
A building facing two intersecting streets has unequal widths. Its permissible height will be based on —
The average of both streets
The narrower street
The wider street
Twice the width of both streets
Why is it mandatory to keep a minimum horizontal clearance of 1.2 m from power lines?
To prevent resonance vibration of lines
To reduce corona discharge
To protect residents from accidental contact
To minimize electromagnetic induction on rebars
A mezzanine floor is permitted only if —
It exceeds the main floor area
It is at least 2.2 m below the ceiling
It does not exceed the area of the main room and has ≥2.2 m headroom
It is ventilated by forced mechanical circulation

Aspect
Grouping
Privacy
Sanitation
TRUE/FALSE
In aspect planning, north–south orientation of long walls reduces heat gain from the sun.
(a)
TRUE/FALSE
According to NBC, a building may be approved on a site with a filled quarry pit if adequate foundation depth is provided.
(a)
Assertion (A): Cross ventilation is improved when inlet openings are smaller on the windward side than on the leeward side. Reason (R): Larger outlet area creates suction pressure, increasing air velocity through the room.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation
A is true but R is false
Both A and R are false
In residential planning, circulation area is ideally limited to about (a) of the total plan area to ensure space economy.
The minimum headroom above a mezzanine floor shall be (a) , ensuring adequate ventilation and user comfort.
For every 3 m increase in height above 10 m, the yard width shall increase by (a) till it reaches 16 m total width.
A key plan submitted for permit must show the site’s boundary and landmarks to a scale not less than (a)
In aspect planning, living rooms are usually placed on the (a) to receive sunlight during most of the day, aiding thermal comfort.
