If P attempts twice the number of problems than R, then the possibilities are

Q always attempts even number of questions.

D = 0.abcbcbc...
1000D = abc.bcbc...; 10D = a.bcbc
Subtracting, 990D = abc – a = a(bc – 1)
∴ D = abc - a/990
Now, abc – a is even as a ,b and c are odd.
∴  abc - a/990 when multiplied by 495 gives an integer

light output ratio (LOR) - light output ratio is the ratio between the luminous flux emitted by the luminaire and the luminous flux of the lamp (or lamps) installed in the luminaire.

Pneumatic structure, Membrane structure that is stabilized by the pressure of compressed air. Air-supported structures are supported by internal air pressure. A network of cables stiffens the fabric, and the assembly is supported by a rigid ring at the edge. The air pressure within this bubble is increased slightly above normal atmospheric pressure and maintained by compressors or fans. Air locks are required at entrances to prevent loss of internal air pressure.

• Uniform color
• Fine crystalline and should be durable
• Building stone should be sharp and clear

A radial concentric city plan is formed by streets that extend outward from a defined center and reach the outer edge of the city, together with concentrically arranged roads that connect the radial streets to the lots. Tokyo and Kochi do not follow Radiocentric city planning.

According to NBC, the capacity for a staircase of an institutional building is 25 people per 0.5 unit width, therefore for 1 m it is 50 people.

1. Determine the equivalent number of 0.5‑m units per staircase:

Each staircase is 1.2 m wide. The number of 0.5‑m units in 1.2 m is:

  1.2 m ÷ 0.5 m = 2.4 units

2.Calculate the capacity per staircase:

Each 0.5‑m unit carries 25 people, so each staircase can accommodate:

  2.4 × 25 = 60 people

3.Determine the total capacity for the building:

The building has 3 staircases, so the total exit capacity is:

  3 × 60 = 180 people

Total area under community facilities, common spaces, and roads,

• Total area = 75 ha = 75 × 10 000 m² = 750 000 m²

• Non-saleable share = 8% + 25% + 15% = 48%

• Saleable area = (100 – 48)% of 750 000 m² = 52% × 750 000 = 390 000 m²

• Number of plots = 390 000 m² ÷ 250 m²/plot = 1 560 plots

The hammerbeam roof was the culmination of the development of the arch-braced truss, allowing greater spaces to be spanned. The hammerbeam roof of Westminster Hall in London, designed by Hugh Herland and installed between 1395 and 1399, was the largest timber-roofed space in medieval Europe, spanning a distance of just over 20 metres (66 ft). It is considered to be the best example of a hammer-beam truss in England.
Hammer beam trusses can have a single hammerbeam or multiple hammerbeams. A false hammerbeam roof (truss) has two definitions:
1) There is no hammer post on the hammer beam as sometimes found in a type of arch brace truss or;
2) The hammer beam joins into the hammer post instead of the hammer post landing on the hammer beam.

All new construction projects with built up area more than 2500 m² (excluding parking, basement area, and typical buildings) are eligible for certification under GRIHA certification.

REVIT is BIM software. Primavera is software for Project Management. Arc GIS is used for spatial analysis in Planning. STAAD is used for structural analysis of structures.

The Hazen–Williams equation is an empirical relationship which relates the flow of water in a pipe with the physical properties of the pipe and the pressure drop caused by friction. It is used in the design of water pipe systems such as fire sprinkler systems, water supply networks, and irrigation systems. It is named after Allen Hazen and Gardner Stewart Williams.

Hazen and Williams provided an empirical formula that was easy to use. The general form of the equation relates the mean velocity of water in a pipe with the geometric properties of the pipe and slope of the energy line.

V = 0.849 × C × R^0.63 × S^0.54

Where V is velocity, C is a roughness coefficient, R is the hydraulic radius and S is the slope of the energy line.

• The Spanish Steps (Scalinata di Trinità dei Monti) are a set of steps in Rome, Italy, climbing a steep slope between the Piazza di Spagna at the base and Piazza Trinità dei Monti, dominated by the Trinità dei Monti church at the top. The monumental stairway of 135 steps was built linking the Trinità dei Monti church at the top of the steps to the Holy See in the Palazzo Monaldeschi at the bottom of the steps. The stairway was designed by architects Francesco de Sanctis and Alessandro Specchi.
• The Monumental Axis is a central avenue in Brasília's city design. The avenue begins on the National Congress of Brazil building and is considered part of the DF-002 road. Its first section is known as "Ministries Esplanade" as it is surrounded by ministries buildings. Many important government buildings, monuments and memorials are located on the Monumental Axis.
• Washington Square Park is a 9.75-acre (39,500 sqm) public park in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, New York City. One of the best known of New York City's public parks, it is an icon as well as a meeting place and center for cultural activity. It is operated by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks). The park is an open space, dominated by the Washington Square Arch at the northern gateway to the park, with a tradition of celebrating nonconformity.
• The National Mall is a landscaped park within the National Mall and Memorial Parks, an official unit of the United States National Park System. It is located near the downtown area of Washington, D.C., the capital city of the United States, and is administered by the National Park Service (NPS) of the United States Department of the Interior.

These “enclosure‐angle” terms are standard values:

• Full enclosure: 60°
• Threshold of enclosure: 26.57° (since tan⁻¹(½) ≈ 26.57°)

and

• Minimum enclosure: 16°
• Loss of enclosure: 18.43° (since tan⁻¹(1/3) ≈ 18.43°)

the minimum enclosure angle is 16° and the enclosure is lost at 18.43°. 

Thus, Option (b) and (d) are incorrect

To find the capitalized value of a property in perpetuity, we use the formula:
Capitalized Value = Net Income / Interest Rate
Given:
Annual Net Income = ₹25,000
Interest Rate = 5% = 0.05 (as a decimal)
Substitute into the formula:
Capitalized Value = ₹25,000 / 0.05
Capitalized Value = ₹500,000
Thus, the capitalized value of the property is ₹500,000.

The calculation of unknown support reactions for the given beam is die first step:

Calculating the Shear force and Bending moment at various points on the beam and drawing the SFD (Shear Force Diagram} and BMD (Bending Moment Diagram), we get the following:



As seen in the BMD above, the maximum bending moment occurs at 4.5 meters distance from the first support (A) - and its magnitude is 10 kNm (negative sign denotes hogging moment)

PM GatiShakti is a National Master Plan to provide multimodal connectivity infrastructure to various economic zones. Hon'ble Prime Minister launched the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan (NMP) on 13 th October2021 for providing multimodal connectivity infrastructure to various economic zones.

Below is the relationship of planning system as described in URDPFI Guidelines, Volume 1.

• The Prime minister of India launched the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) consisting of two sub-missions, one on urban infrastructure and governance to be administered by the Ministry of Urban Development, and the other on basic services to the urban poor, to be administered by the Ministry of Urban Employment and Poverty Alleviation. The main objectives of the missions are:
• Focused attention on integrated development of infrastructure and services, in the cities covered under the mission;
• Secure effective linkages between asset creation and asset management so that the infrastructural services created in the cities are not only maintained efficiently but also become self sustaining over time; Ensure adequate investment of funds to fulfill deficiencies in urban infrastructural services;
• Planned development of identified cities including peri-urban areas, out growths, urban corridors, so that urbanization takes place in a dispersed manner;
• Scale up the delivery of civic amenities and provision of utilities with emphasis on universal access to the urban poor;
• To take up urban renewal programme i.e. redevelopment of inner (old) city area to reduce congestion;
• Provision of basic services to the urban poor including security of tenure at affordable prices, improved housing, water supply, sanitation and ensuring delivery of other already existing universal services of the government for education, health and social security.

TOD, or transit-oriented development, means integrated urban places designed to bring people, activities, buildings, and public space together, with easy walking and cycling connection between them and near-excellent transit service to the rest of the city.
Transferable development rights (TDR) is a method by which developers can purchase the development rights of cert am parcels within a designated "sending district" and transfer the rights to another "receiving district" to mcrease the density of their new development.

A figure-ground illustrates a mass-to-void relationship, and analysis of it identifies a "fabric" of urban structures.

The Town Planning Scheme (TPS) is a land pooling and readjustment mechanism that allows the city to appropriate land from private landowners for public purposes, such as roads, open spaces, low- income housing, underlying utility infrastructure, and other health, education and community services.

A special economic zone is an area in which the business and trade laws are different from the rest of the country. SEZs are located within a country's national borders, and their aims include increasing trade balance, employment, increased investment, job creation and effective administration.

 The first step in this solution is to find the total traffic volume for each 15 minute period in terms of passenger car units. This is done by multiplying the number of trucks by 1.5, the number of right turns by 1.5, and the number of left turns by 2.5. We then add these three numbers and the volume of straight-through cars together to get the total volume of traffic serviced in each interval. Once we have this, we can locate the hour with the highest volume and the 15 minute interval with the highest volume. The peak hour is shown in color below.

Peak Hour Volume = 106 + 110 + 133 + 135 = 484 PCU

Theoretical maximum capacity is given by,

C = (1000V)/S

Where,

C = Capacity in vehicle/hr

V = Speed in km/hr

S = Minimum clear distance between two vehicles

∴ S = 0.2 V + 6 ( if V is in kmph ) 

(or) S = 0.7 v + 6 ( if v is in m/s )

Given,

Velocity (V) = 40 kmph

∵ S = 0.2 V + 6 = 0.2 × 50 + 6 = 16 m

Theoretical Maximum capacity is given by,

C = (1000V)/S

C = (1000× 50) /16

C = 3125 Veh/hr 

Rounding off to nearest 10 units, C = 3130 Veh/hr
