Q1:

The reduced level of third floor of a building near a column is 205.350 m. The reduced levels of the undersides of four beams supporting the fourth floor framing into the column mutually perpendicular are 208.350 m, 208.450 m, 208.500 m and 208.550 m. The supported length of the column is

A 3.000 m

B 3.100 m

C 3.150 m

D 3.200 m

ANS:A - 3.000 m

208.35-205.35 = 3m.

As 205.35 is the RL of the floor and the immediate RL next to the floor level is the beam with RL 208.35 so the distance between them is 3 m.
