A __________ wall is a wall that separates rooms, or divides a room. Partition walls are usually not load-bearing.(a) drawf wall(b) partition wall(c) main wall(d) large wall |
|
Answer» Correct choice is (b) partition wall The explanation: A partition wall is a wall that separates rooms, or divides a room. Partition walls are usually not load-bearing. Partition walls are constructed of many materials, including steel panels, bricks, blocks of clay, terra-cotta, concrete, or glass blocks. Some partition walls are made of sheet glass. Glass partition walls are a series of individual toughened glass panels mounted in wood or metal framing. They may be suspended from or slide along a robust aluminium ceiling track. The system does not require the use of a floor guide, which allows easy operation and an uninterrupted threshold. |

___________ are a set of drawings or two-dimensional diagrams used to describe a place or object, or to communicate building or fabrication instructions.(a) Elevations(b) Plans(c) Plotting(d) Sketching |
|
Answer» Correct choice is (b) Plans The explanation is: Plans are often for technical purposes such as architecture, engineering, or planning. Their purpose in these disciplines is to accurately and unambiguously capture all the geometric features of a site, building, product or component. Plans can also be for presentation or orientation purposes, and as such are often less detailed versions of the former. The end goal of plans is either to portray an existing place or object, or to convey enough information to allow a builder or manufacturer to realize a design. |

What is Diagrammatic Representation? State the importance of Diagrams. |
|
Answer» Depicting of statistical data in the form of attractive shapes such as bars, circles, rectangles is called diagrammatic presentation. A diagram is a visual form of presentation of statistical data, highlighting their basic facts and relationship. There are geometrical figures like lines, bars, squares, rectangles, circles, curves, etc. Diagrams are used with great effectiveness in the presentation of all types of data. When properly constructed, they readily show information that might otherwise be lost amid the details of numerical tabulation. Importance of Diagrams : A properly constructed diagram appeals to the eye as well as the mind since it is practical, clear and easily understandable even by those who are unacquainted with the methods of presentation. Utility or importance of diagrams will become clearer from the following points - (i) Attractive and Effective Means of Presentation : Beautiful lines ;full of various colours and signs attract human sight, and do not strain the mind of the observer. A common man who does not wish to indulge in figures, get message from a well prepared diagram. (ii) Make Data Simple and Understandable : The mass of complex data, when prepared through diagram, can be understood easily. According to Shri Morane, “Diagrams help us to understand the complete meaning of a complex numerical situation at one sight only”. (iii) Facilitate Comparison : Diagrams make comparison possible between two sets of data of different periods, regions or other facts by putting side by side through diagrammatic presentation. (iv) Save Time and Energy : The data which will take hours to understand, becomes clear by just having a look at total facts represented through diagrams. (v) Universal Utility : Because of its merits, the diagrams are used for presentation of statistical data in different areas. It is widely used technique in economic, business, administration, social and other areas. (vi) Helpful in Information Communication : A diagram depicts more information than the data shown in a table. Information concerning data to general public becomes more easy through diagrams and gets into the mind of a person with ordinary knowledge. |

Write a note on the Editing of Primary Data and Secondary Data for the purpose of Analysis and Interpretation. |
|
Answer» Before analysis and interpretation, it is necessary to edit the date to detect possible errors and inaccuracies, so that accurate and impartial results may be obtained. Thus editing means the process of checking for the errors and omissions and making corrections, if necessary. The task of editing is a highly specialized one and requires high level of skill and carefulness to attain the proper degree of accuracy. Editing of Primary Data : While editing primary data, the following points should be considered :-
Editing of Secondary Data : Since secondary data have already been obtained, it is highly desirable that a proper scrutiny of such data is made before they are used by the investigator. Bowley rightly points out that “secondary data should not be accepted at their face value”. Hence before using secondary data, the investigators should consider the following aspects :-
(i) The collecting agency was unbiased. (ii) The enumerators are properly trained. (iii) A proper check on the accuracy of the field work. (iv) Was the editing, tabulating and analysis carefully and conscientiously done |
