Let M = men, D = day and T = time

Men and days are inversely proportional to each other (when the number of men increases, the number of days decreases). Hence, product of men and days will always be constant.

M ´ D = constant

Men and time are inversely proportional to each other (when the number of men increases the amount of time required to finish the work decreases). Hence, product of men and time will always be constant.

M ´ T = constant

Men and work are directly proportional to each other (when the number of men increases the amount of work done increases). Hence, their ratio will always be constant.

M/W= constant. Combining all the above, we can conclude that,

Number of extra men required = 68 – 17 = 51 men  

The percentage of doctors in the age group above 45 is 35.75 + 25.25 + 11.25 + 4 = 76.25
∴ The number of doctors in the age group 50-55 =  = 2.525lakhs.
The ratio of females to males is 0.25, i.e.,

∴ F + M = 2.525 lakhs,i.e.,1.25M = 2.525.

= 2.02lakhs.

Brazilian planner, preservationist and modernist thinker Lucio Costa (27 February 1902 – 13 June 1998) is best known for his 1957 plan of Brasília that shaped the Brazilian capital into a monument to utopian modernism.

Ergonomics is a branch of science related to the design of workplaces, products and systems to best fit those who use them. The term is derived from two Greek words, ‘ergon’ meaning work, and ‘nomos’ meaning laws. The main goal of the integration of ergonomics into architectural design is the optimization of human-built environment interactions to increase of humans' satisfaction with their built environment and improvement of the performance of buildings. Ergonomics can roughly be defined as the study of people in their working environment. More specifically, an ergonomist (pronounced like economist) designs or modifies the work to fit the worker, not the other way around. The goal is to eliminate discomfort and risk of injury due to work.

Below are some important terms related to conservation of ancient monuments (as defined in the ‘National Policy for the conservation of the Ancient Monuments, India)

• Reassembly or Reinstatement (Anastylosis) means putting existing but dismembered parts back together.
• Adaptation or Adaptive Reuse means modifying a lesser significance part of the monument, or a place inside or outside it, to suit it to a compatible use involving as little as possible loss of value.
• Reconstruction means to rebuild in the original form.
• Retrofitting means to consolidate a monument’s structure by inserting new parts or material using new technology in order to improve their safety and to make them functional.

Given: width, b = 6 m,
Slope, i = 1 in 1500
C = 50
b = 2d (or) depth, d = b/2 = 6/2 = 3m
m = d/2 = 3/2 = 1.5 m
Area of economical rectangular channel, A = b x d = 6 x 3 = 18 sq m
Q = AC × √mi = 18 x 50 sqrt ((1.5 × (1/1500))
= 28.46 m³/s

• Jacobs refers to the concept of “eyes on the street” which is the activity taking place in city streets that keeps the movement and security of the street intact. “When there are people present in a public space such as city streets, it strengthens the space and inspires social cohesion.”
• The garden city movement is a method of urban planning in which self-contained communities are surrounded by "greenbelts", containing proportionate areas of residences, industry, and agriculture. The idea was initiated in 1898 by Ebenezer Howard in the United Kingdom and aims to capture the primary benefits of a countryside environment and a city environment while avoiding the disadvantages presented by both. Ebenezer Howard's three magnets diagram which addressed the question 'Where will the people go?', with the choices 'Town', 'Country' or 'Town-Country'.

Plot area= 2 hectare = 20000 sq.m
Buildable area with 2 FAR = 2 x (20,000) sq.m = 40,000
Let
No. of MIG unit = 1x
No. of LIG unit = 2x
No. of EWS unit = 3x
Total no of dwelling units = 1x + 2x + 3x = 6x
Area assigned for all MIG = (1x) X (50) sq. m = 50x sq.m.
Area assigned for all LIG = (2x) X (40) sq. m = 80x sq.m.
Area assigned for all EWS = (3x) X (30) sq. m = 90x sq.m.
Now,
[(1x) X (50)] + [(2x) X (40)] + [(3x) X (30)] = 40,000 sq.m
So, 220x = 40000
x = 181.81 i.e. 181 
The number of MIG unit = 1x = 1X181 = 181 DU

Gross density means the density of a given area, including infrastructure such as Public roads, public open space and in some instances non-residential development such as schools and shops.
Total area: 100 hectares
25 % area under student's enclave = 25hectares
30% area under staff housing = 30 hectares
15% area under major roads (of which 50% is within the academic complex) i.e. 7.5% = 7.5 hectares
Total area excluding academic complex = 25 + 30 + 7.5 = 62.5 hectares
Total population in the residential area: 6000 (students) + 2000 (faculty & staff) = 8000   

Family size: 5
No. of Dwelling units: 8000 / 5 = 1600
1600 Dwelling units are there in an area of 62.5 hectares
Gross residential density: 1600 / 62.5 = 25.6 Dwelling units / hectare

Below is the netowrk diagram from the given project. Forward and backward path calculations along with float calculations can be also seen in the network below,

Expected duration = 2 + (5 x 4) + 8 / 6
= 5

Value = Annual Income/ Capitalization Rate

⇒ 1200000 = Annual income/ 0.12

⇒ Annual income = 144000

Therefore, Total income= 144000 + 20000 = 164000

Given, the gradient of the sewer line is 1 in 22.

This means:

• For every 1 metre of fall, there is 22 metres of sewer line.

To find the fall in a 10.5 metre section of the sewer line:

• Calculate: 10.5 / 22 = 0.4772727
• This equals approximately 477.27 mm.

Thus, the descent in the pipeline for the 10.5 metre segment is about 477 mm.

No of cement bags = 50

Total weight of cement = 50 x 50 =2500 kg

Vol of cement = 2500 kg/ (1440 kg/m³)     (Because density of cement = 1440 kg/m³)

=1.7361 m³

M25 concrete has mix ratio of 1: 1.5: 3

1m³ gives 5.5 m³ of concrete.

Therefore 1.7361 m³ of cement gives 9.5486 m³ concrete (dry mix)

Dry mix/vol of wet mix = 1.52

Therefore Actual vol.  of concrete obtainable (wet mix) is = 9.5486/1.52 = 6.2820

Height of required slab = 15 cm = 0.15 m

Area = Vol. /height.

l x b = Vol. / h

=5.1398/0.15

=41.88 m²

The evaporator coil is the component in an AC system that absorbs the heat from the air in a space. It is often located inside an air handler or in the indoor unit of an AC system. It works with a condenser coil to complete the heat exchange process that produces cool air.

Sandstone is a clastic sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized (0.0625 to 2 mm) mineral particles or rock fragments.

In center-line method, for each interior T-junctions, we consider a deduction of half-wall thickness from center-line length.
So, effective length of center-lme for the given plan, after deductions, will be = 41.10 - (1.10) = 40 meters
Area of foundation foot print = Effective length of center-line after deductions * Thickness = 40* 1.1 = 44 sqm Volume of concrete in foundation = Area * Depth = 44 * 0.3 = 13.2 cubic meters
