What is the estimate (Rs.) for a building with a plinth area of 2000 s...
Plinth area = 2000 m2
Rate per m2 = Rs. 3800
Total cost of plinth area = 3800 × 2000 = Rs. 7600000
15% Electric installation = Rs. 1140000
7% Miscellaneous = Rs. 532000
Final cost of the building = Rs. 7600000 + Rs. 1140000 + Rs. 532000
= Rs. 9272000

Estimating the Cost of a Building
Given:
Plinth area of the building = 2000 sq. m
Rate per sq. m = Rs. 3800
Additional costs:
- Electric installation = 15% of the total cost
- Miscellaneous = 7% of the total cost
To estimate the cost of the building, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the total cost of the building
Total cost = Plinth area × Rate per sq. m
Total cost = 2000 sq. m × Rs. 3800/sq. m
Total cost = Rs. 7,600,000
Step 2: Calculate the additional costs
Electric installation cost = 15% of the total cost
Electric installation cost = 0.15 × Rs. 7,600,000
Electric installation cost = Rs. 1,140,000
Miscellaneous cost = 7% of the total cost
Miscellaneous cost = 0.07 × Rs. 7,600,000
Miscellaneous cost = Rs. 532,000
Step 3: Calculate the final estimate
Final estimate = Total cost + Electric installation cost + Miscellaneous cost
Final estimate = Rs. 7,600,000 + Rs. 1,140,000 + Rs. 532,000
Final estimate = Rs. 9,272,000
Therefore, the estimate for the building with a plinth area of 2000 sq. m and a rate of Rs. 3800 per sq. m, considering the additional costs, is Rs. 9,272,000 (option D).
