When a rectangle is inscribed in a circle, a diagonal of the rectangle is also a diameter of the circle.
Therefore, from (ii), AC = 12 
⇒ radius = 6 cms. 
∴Area = πr² = 36 π sq. cms. 
∴ (ii) alone is sufficient. Both (i) and (iii) are redundant.

The primary colors in additive colour system are red, green and blue, or RGB. Additive color starts with black and adds red, green and blue light to produce the visible spectrum of colors. As more color is added, the result is lighter. When all three colors are combined equally, the result is white light.  

Enteric bacteria are bacteria that exist in the intestines of animals and humans. Enteric bacteria are typically harmless and help maintain a healthy intestinal environment. However, certain strains of enteric bacteria may be pathogenic, causing illness in humans. Vibro cholerae, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella typhi are examples of enteric panthogens. 

• Satellite town - Satellite cities or satellite towns are smaller municipalities that are adjacent to a principal city which is the core of a metropolitan area.
• garden city - The garden city movement was a 20th century urban planning movement promoting satellite communities surrounding the central city and separated with greenbelts. These Garden Cities would contain proportionate areas of residences, industry, and agriculture.
• modest income garden City- Affordability: Howard wanted garden city for all incomes. Most originally for those of modest incomes. Their attractiveness as living environments has often made them become more popular with better off people
• City beautiful - The particular architectural style of the movement borrowed mainly from the contemporary Beaux-Arts and neoclassical architectures, which emphasized the necessity of order, dignity, and harmony.

Pressurization is defined as the establishment of a pressure difference across a barrier to protect exit, stairway, lobby, exit passageway or room of a building from smoke penetration.  

12 of the 18 biosphere reserves in the country have become part of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves which is based on the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme list. 
The recent additions to the list are Panna Biosphere Reserve (in 2020) and Khangchendzonga Biosphere Reserve (in 2018) 

Contract is composed of General Conditions of Contract (GCC) and Special Conditions of Contract (GCC). Special Conditions of Contract (SCC) shall supplement the General Conditions of Contract (GCC). Generally, whenever there is conflict, the provisions of SCC shall prevail over those in GCC.  

The trapezoidal formula is given as,

V=L [(A₁ + A_n) + 2(A₂ + A₃ +…+ An - 1)] /2

The section across the embankment would be trapezoidal in shape.

For extreme edge (1): Top Width = 2 m, Height = 3, and

Bottom width =  2 + 2 × 3 + 2 × 3 = 14 m

⇒ A₁ = (Top width + Bottom width) / 2 × h = (2+14)/2 × 3 = 24 m²

For extreme edge (2): Top Width = 4 m, Height = 5,

Bottom width = 4 + 2 × 5 + 2 × 5 = 24 m

⇒ A₂ = (Top width + Bottom width) /2×h = (4+24)/2  ×  5= 70m²

The volume of earthwork ⇒V=L/2 x  [(A1 + A₂)] = 80/2 x  [(24 + 70)]=3,760 m³

NMEEE (National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency) aims to strengthen the market for energy efficiency by creating conducive regulatory and policy regime and has envisaged fostering innovative and sustainable business models to the energy efficiency sector. The Mission is implemented since 2011.

The objectives of the NMSH (National Mission on Sustainable Habitat) are as follows: 1. Promote lowcarbon urban growth towards reducing GHG emissions intensity for achieving India’s NDC. 2. Build resilience of cities to climate change impacts and strengthen their capacities to ‘bounce back better’ from climate-related extreme events and disaster risks.

The National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) describes the features of National Water Mission as under: “A National Water Mission will be mounted to ensure integrated water resource management helping to conserve water, minimize wastage and ensure more equitable distribution both across and within states. The Mission will consider the provisions of the National Water Policy and develop a framework to optimize water use by increasing water use efficiency by 20% through regulatory mechanisms with differential entitlements and pricing. It will seek to ensure that a considerable share of the water needs of urban areas are met through recycling of waste water.

The National Mission on Strategic Knowledge for Climate Change proposes a coordinated mechanism and process with a view to further enhance the effectiveness and impact of the various existing intraand extra-mural knowledge generating systems in the country. 

Designed in the 1920s by Le Corbusier, one of Modernism's most influential architects, the “Radiant City” or Ville Radieuse was to be a linear and ordered metropolis of the future. Designed to contain effective means of transportation, as well as an abundance of green space and sunlight, Le Corbusier’s city of the future would not only provide residents with a better lifestyle but would contribute to creating a better society. Though radical, strict and nearly totalitarian in its order, symmetry and standardization, Le Corbusier’s proposed principles had an extensive influence on modern urban planning and led to the development of new high-density housing typologies.

In 1886 Geddes and his wife, Anna Geddes, purchased a row of slum tenements in James Court, Edinburgh, making it into a single dwelling. In and around this area Geddes commenced upon a project of "conservative surgery": "weeding out the worst of the houses that surrounded them…widening the narrow closes into courtyards" and thus improving sunlight and airflow. The best of the houses were kept and restored. Geddes believed that this approach was both more economical and more humane.

Broadacre City was proposed by F. L Wright to be a continuous urban area with a low population density and services grouped depending on the type. The city had a futuristic highway and airfields to help curb traffic. The highways connecting different cities were gigantic, with detailed design and landscaping.

The linear city was an urban plan for an elongated urban formation proposed by Arturo Soria y Mata in 1882. The city would consist of a series of functionally specialized parallel sectors. Generally, the city would run parallel to a river and be built so that the dominant wind would blow from the residential areas to the industrial strip. 

• Annual depreciation is the standard yearly rate at which depreciation is charged to a fixed asset.
• An annuity is an arrangement wherein an insurer pays a regular amount to you over a period of time, usually lifelong.
• Risk Fund means a pool of funds for the purposes of mutual assistance, solidarity, brotherhood and for the mutual benefits of all Participants.
• Amount which must be kept apart at the end of each year to give a specified corpus at the end of a given period to account for costs which cannot be retrieved at the end of the project, is known as Contribution to Sinking fund.

Below are the plans showing the spatial pattern corresponding to the given buildings: 

• Samarangana Sutradhara, is an 11th-century poetic treatise on classical Indian architecture (Vastu Shastra) written in Sanskrit language attributed to Paramara King Bhoja of Dhar.
• The Mayamata is a Vastusastra, that is to says a treatise on dwelling and as such, it deals with all the facets of gods temple dwellings, from the choice of a site to the iconography of temple walls.

The United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), in its substantive session of July 2001, adopted a draft resolution on the Code of Ethics and called on the UN General Assembly to recognize the document.

We know,

1 Hectare = 10000 M²

Total Site Area, 

= 40×10000 = 400000 Sq. M

Area under Common Facilities = (10 % + 15 % + 8 %)×400000

= 33 % × 400000

= 132000 Sq. M

Given, Total area = 1 hectare = 10,000 Sq. m

Area for common amenities = 5% = 500 Sq. m

Area for open spaces = 10 % = 1000 Sq. m

Area for roads = 15 % = 1500 Sq. m

Effective area for plots = 10,000 – 500 – 1000 – 1500 = 7000 Sq.m

No. of plots of 200 Sq. m made = 7000/200 = 35

1. Calculate the total number of housing units needed:

   • Needed = Population ÷ Average household size
   • Needed = 43200 ÷ 3.6
   • Needed = 12000

2. Compare with the current number of housing units (9500):

   • Shortage = Needed – Current
   • Shortage = 12000 – 9500
   • Shortage = 2500

3. Express the shortage as a percentage of the needed units:

   • Percentage = (Shortage ÷ Needed) × 100
   • Percentage = (2500 ÷ 12000) × 100
   • Percentage ≈ 20.8%

Answer (rounded to one decimal place): 20.8%

On street parking means the vehicles are parked on the sides of the street itself. The classification of on-street parking is based on the angle in which the vehicles are parked with respect to the road alignment. As per IRC the standard dimensions of a car are taken as 5 x 2.5 metres and that for a truck is 3.75 x 7.5 metres.

For 60⁰ Parking, max. no. of cars parked,

L= 2.89 N + 2.16

152= 2.89 N + 2.16

N= 51.84 (if we round off to 52, last car will overshoot the L)

Therefore, N= 51 cars

CPWD specifications, 2019 mentions: “After the marble work is cured, it shall be rubbed with carborandum stone of different grades no. 60, 120 and 320 in succession or with electrical rubbing machines rubbed with carborandum items 0 to 6 nos.in succession, so as to give a plane true and highly smooth surface. It shall then be cleaned with a solution of oxalic acid, washed and finished clean”. 

A small quantity of magnesia in brick earth imparts a yellow tint to the bricks and decreases shrinkage. But excess magnesia leads to the decay of bricks. Efflorescence is caused because of alkalies present in bricks. When bricks come into contact with moisture, water is absorbed and the alkalies crystallize. After drying, grey or white powder patches appear on the brick surface. 

The given builds and their respective geometric forms are discussed below: 

A centrifugal pump is a mechanical device designed to move a fluid by means of the transfer of rotational energy from one or more driven rotors, called impellers. Fluid enters the rapidly rotating impeller along its axis and is cast out by centrifugal force along its circumference through the impeller's vane tips.

In a reciprocating pump, piston is directly connected to a rod that is the piston rod. This piston rod is again connected to the connecting rod. Piston makes the reciprocating motion in forward and backward motion and creates pressure inside the cylinder.

Rotary Gear Pumps are designed to run at 1440 RPM and maximum temperature up to 200ºc. Performance at low speed is always advantageous as it improves efficiency, reduce noise level and enhances operational life.

Hydraulic Ram or Impulse Pumps convert the difference in elevation between the feed pipe intake (e.g. from a nearby river or flow from an elevated reservoir) and the pump itself into kinetic energy that moves water through the delivery pipe. 

A Goniophotometer is a device used for measurement of the light emitted from an object at different angles. A goniophotometer can be used for various applications: (i) Measurement of luminous flux of a light source. (ii) Measurement of luminous intensity distribution from a source much smaller than the size of the goniophotometer

A pyrheliometer is an instrument for measurement of direct beam solar irradiance. Sunlight enters the instrument through a window and is directed onto a thermopile which converts heat to an electrical signal that can be recorded. The signal voltage is converted via a formula to measure watts per square metre.

A spectrophotometer is an analytical instrument used for the objective calculation of visible light, UV light, or infrared light emission or reflection. Spectrophotometers measure intensity as a function of the wavelength of the light source.

Forward-looking infrared (FLIR) cameras, typically used on military and civilian aircraft, use a thermographic camera that senses infrared radiation. They can be used to help pilots and drivers steer their vehicles at night and in fog, or to detect warm objects against a cooler background. FLIR thermal imaging cameras can also be a useful, efficient tool for screening people for signs of elevated skin temperature.
