Question

Match List - I with List - II.

List - I  (Items)		List - II  (Units of Measurement in MKS)
A.	Tiled Roof	I.	Metre
B.	Skirting	II.	Cu.m.
C.	Supply of Varnish	III.	Sq.m
D.	Earth Filling in Foundation	IV.	Litre

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II
• B. A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
• C. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
• D. A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III

Hint:

Common construction measurement units:
• Roofing → Sq m
• Skirting → Running metre
• Earthwork → Cu.m.
• Paint/Varnish → Litre

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: In estimation and costing, different construction items are measured using suitable MKS (Metre-Kilogram-Second) units depending on their nature. Common units include:
• Length → metre
• Area → square metre
• Volume → cubic metre
• Liquid quantity → litre

Step 1: Match Tiled roof.
Roofing work is generally measured by area. \[ A \rightarrow III \; (\text{Sq m}) \]

Step 2: Match Skirting.
Skirting is measured along its running length. \[ B \rightarrow I \; (\text{Metre}) \]

Step 3: Match Supply of Varnish.
Varnish is a liquid material and is measured in litres. \[ C \rightarrow IV \; (\text{Litre}) \]

Step 4: Match Earth filling in foundation.
Earth filling is measured by volume. \[ D \rightarrow II \; (\text{Cu.m.}) \]

Step 5: Choose the correct option.
\[ A-III,\; B-I,\; C-IV,\; D-II \] Therefore, the correct answer is: \[ {\text{(C) A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II}} \]
