Question 1
ప్రశ్న 1
What is the principal function of an approved Standard Schedule of Rates (SOR) when preparing a detailed estimate for a departmental civil work?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
An SOR provides a structured basis for valuing measured items of construction work. Each appropriate work item is linked to a description, unit and applicable rate. Estimated quantities are derived from drawings and measurement rules rather than from the SOR alone. The schedule must be read with its instructions and the governing specifications. It facilitates consistency in estimates without guaranteeing the final project cost.

Question 2
ప్రశ్న 2
A schedule entry shows an item code, 'cement plaster 12 mm thick in mortar 1:6 on walls', unit 'm2', and rate Rs 210. Which interpretation is correct?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
The entry names a specific plaster thickness, mortar proportion and work surface. Its quoted unit is square metre, so the quantity is a measured surface area. Multiplying this area by Rs 210 gives the basic value of that item. A different thickness or mortar mix may require another schedule entry. The item description and applicable measurement rules must be checked before applying the rate.

Question 3
ప్రశ్న 3
The Telangana Revised Standard Data for 2026-27 groups the common SOR into four departmental parts. Which pairing correctly identifies Part III and Part IV?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
The Telangana 2026-27 common schedule is organized into four principal parts. Part I covers Irrigation and CAD works along with the common lead-and-lift provisions. Part II covers roads and bridges. Part III covers buildings including electrical works, while Part IV covers drinking water supply and public health with the stated manual-work scope. An estimator must consult the appropriate departmental data and conditions for the proposed work.

Question 4
ప్రశ్న 4
Two estimates for similar pump-house civil works refer to different annual SOR editions. What is the correct basis for selecting a rate when the governing contract identifies a particular edition and its applicable correction slips?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
Annual rate schedules may use different labour, material and machinery inputs. Their item descriptions and conditions may also change. The contract and estimate approval determine which published schedule applies to a particular work. Applicable corrigenda and authorized adjustments must be considered on that basis. A newer publication does not automatically rewrite an already agreed contract rate.

Question 5
ప్రశ్న 5
Which statement best distinguishes a departmental standard-data or analysis-of-rates sheet from a finished SOR item rate?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
Standard data or rate analysis documents the resources assumed for a unit quantity of work. Such resources can include material quantities, labour inputs, machinery and other permitted components. Input rates and approved additions are combined to determine the applicable unit-work rate. The schedule organizes rates for use in estimating and costing work items. Understanding the analysis helps an estimator examine whether an item rate is applicable to actual site conditions.
వివరణ:
Question 6
ప్రశ్న 6
An estimate specifies brick masonry in cement mortar 1:6, but the estimator selects a scheduled item explicitly describing brick masonry in cement mortar 1:4 merely because its rate is available. What is the correct action?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
Mortar proportion is part of a masonry item's technical description. Different proportions may involve different material quantities and costs. An item whose description specifies 1:4 should not silently represent work specified as 1:6. The estimator should locate the applicable matching scheduled description. If no such entry is available, the approved rate-analysis or non-schedule-item procedure is required.
వివరణ:
Question 7
ప్రశ్న 7
Which set of usual measurement units correctly matches ordinary earth excavation, wall plastering and RCC reinforcing steel when these are separate SOR items?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
Earth excavation is ordinarily quantified by the volume of soil or rock excavated under the relevant measurement rules. Plastering is normally measured by the treated surface area. Reinforcement is accounted for by mass when separately measured. The applicable schedule may express the steel item in kilograms or metric tonnes, so unit conversion must be checked. A quantity must never be multiplied by a rate expressed in an incompatible unit.
వివరణ:
Question 8
ప్రశ్న 8
For Telangana Revised Standard Data 2026-27, which statement correctly describes the published zonal basis relevant to selecting labour-dependent rates?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
The Telangana 2026-27 data identifies three labour-rate zones. Municipal corporations fall under Zone I and municipalities under Zone II. Rural and other areas are designated Zone III. The published standard-data unit-work rates incorporate Zone III basic labour inputs, with corresponding rates for other zones to be adopted according to the stated instructions. Therefore an estimator should verify site classification and the engineer-in-charge's directions instead of applying one zone blindly.
వివరణ:
Question 9
ప్రశ్న 9
A scheduled RCC item expressly includes specified mixing, placing, compaction and curing. The draft estimate separately adds an identical charge for these same operations without any extra-work provision. What is the main estimating defect?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
A scheduled work rate must be interpreted together with its inclusions and exclusions. Operations expressly included in an item are normally covered by its applicable unit rate. Charging the identical work again as a separate item duplicates the estimate. Separate payment would require a distinct authorized scope or contractual entitlement. Item-rate checking therefore requires reading the full description rather than merely comparing numerical rates.

Question 10
ప్రశ్న 10
A foundation trench is 6.40 m long, 1.25 m wide and 1.60 m deep, with no deductions or extra width. For this problem, the applicable excavation rate is Rs 310 per m3 and includes all specified operations. What is the estimated amount?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
The excavation volume is the product of the three given dimensions. It equals 6.40 x 1.25 x 1.60 = 12.80 m3. The question specifies a complete item rate of Rs 310 per m3. The estimated amount is 12.80 x 310 = Rs 3,968. No additional charge is justified under the stated inclusions and assumptions.
వివరణ:
Question 11
ప్రశ్న 11
A schedule lists an approved brick-masonry item at Rs 6,250 per m3. The estimated quantity matching that description is 8.40 m3, with no rate adjustments. What is the item amount?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
The brick-masonry quantity is expressed in cubic metres. The rate is also quoted per cubic metre, so the two units are compatible. Multiplying the quantity by the scheduled rate gives 8.40 x 6,250. The resulting amount is Rs 52,500. No other additions are made because the problem specifies that there are no adjustments.

Question 12
ప్రశ్న 12
One wall face is 9.0 m long and 3.0 m high and contains a 1.5 m by 2.0 m opening. For this contract-specific question, deduct the full opening, ignore reveals and use a scheduled plaster rate of Rs 195 per m2. What is the item amount?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
The gross plaster area is 9.0 x 3.0 = 27.0 m2. The opening has an area of 1.5 x 2.0 = 3.0 m2. The question expressly requires deduction of the entire opening, giving 24.0 m2. Applying the supplied rate gives 24.0 x 195 = Rs 4,680. The stipulated deduction rule prevents ambiguity about the measurement of reveals or small openings.

Question 13
ప్రశ్న 13
A tender describes 20 mm two-coat external plaster, while the available SOR entry describes only 12 mm single-coat internal plaster. What is the most appropriate estimating decision?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
Coat count, thickness, exposure and workmanship influence plastering cost. The two descriptions in the question therefore represent different scopes. A lower-thickness internal plaster item should not be used uncritically for thicker external work. The estimator should search the approved schedule for a matching entry. If none exists, a rate should be derived or approved using the procedure permitted by the contract.

Question 14
ప్రశ్న 14
Two approved floor-finish items are priced separately: 40 m2 of cement-concrete flooring at Rs 960 per m2 and 16 m2 of tile flooring at Rs 1,120 per m2. Both rates include their described laying operations. What is their combined scheduled amount?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
The first floor-finish item costs 40 x 960 = Rs 38,400. The tile-flooring item costs 16 x 1,120 = Rs 17,920. Since the two finishes have distinct descriptions and rates, they should be kept as separate estimate lines. Adding their amounts gives Rs 38,400 + Rs 17,920 = Rs 56,320. The calculations do not require a separate laying charge because both supplied rates include the specified operations.

Question 15
ప్రశ్న 15
After a departmental SOR is issued, an officially applicable correction slip changes a particular rate or item description. How should an estimator prepare an estimate governed by that revised schedule?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
Published schedules may be accompanied by corrigenda and amendments. An applicable correction slip changes the entry or condition identified in that document. The estimator should establish its authority and effective application before using it. The updated description, unit or rate should be incorporated where required. This produces a traceable estimate rather than an unsupported mixture of old and new entries.

Question 16
ప్రశ్న 16
A project requires a specialized waterproofing system absent from the applicable SOR and approved BOQ. The engineer needs a rate before including the work. Which procedure is most defensible?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
A non-schedule item lacks a directly applicable published work-item rate. Its cost must be established using a defensible method allowed by the department and contract. The analysis should reflect the required materials, labour, equipment, method and permitted additions. Supporting market information or quotations may be needed when specified. The resulting rate must receive the necessary approval rather than being assigned arbitrarily.
వివరణ:
Question 17
ప్రశ్న 17
A contract expressly provides that an accepted tender percentage of 7.5 percent ABOVE the applicable SOR rate is to be applied to a measured item. The quantity is 50 m3 and the SOR rate is Rs 400 per m3. What is the contractual item amount before any other adjustments?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
The basic SOR amount is 50 x 400 = Rs 20,000. The contract expressly requires an addition of 7.5 percent to that amount. The additional amount is 0.075 x 20,000 = Rs 1,500. The contractual item amount is therefore Rs 20,000 + Rs 1,500 = Rs 21,500. Tender-percentage treatment must be taken from the contract and should not be applied to unrelated items without authorization.

Question 18
ప్రశ్న 18
For a hypothetical non-schedule work item, the approved analysis specifies materials Rs 680, labour Rs 420 and equipment Rs 200 per unit. It allows an additional 10 percent on the subtotal for overhead and profit, with no other charges. What is the resulting unit rate?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
The given direct input cost is Rs 680 + Rs 420 + Rs 200. This subtotal is Rs 1,300 per unit. The stipulated addition is 10 percent of Rs 1,300, equal to Rs 130. The calculated unit rate is Rs 1,300 + Rs 130 = Rs 1,430. The 10 percent figure is an explicit assumption for this problem and not a universal departmental allowance.

Question 19
ప్రశ్న 19
The basic MATERIAL rates in Telangana Revised Standard Data 2026-27 are ordinarily stated exclusive of GST unless otherwise specified. Which estimating interpretation is correct?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
Basic input rates and completed work-item rates need not have identical tax inclusions. The Telangana standard-data instructions ordinarily describe basic material rates as excluding GST unless otherwise stated. The treatment of GST on works contracts is governed by applicable orders and contractual provisions. An estimate should therefore identify where tax is already included and where it is separately applicable. This avoids both omission and repeated charging of the same tax component.

Question 20
ప్రశ్న 20
A hypothetical earthwork SOR item is Rs 350 per m3 and expressly includes conveyance within an initial lead of 50 m. A quantity of 24 m3 is moved 40 m, with no other charges or adjustments. What amount should be entered?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
The work quantity is 24 m3 and the complete quoted rate is Rs 350 per m3. The actual conveyance distance of 40 m is within the stated 50 m initial lead. The question provides no authorized additional charge. Multiplying 24 by 350 gives Rs 8,400. Adding another initial-lead charge would count a service already included in the rate.

Question 21
ప్రశ్న 21
Under the RCC costing approach stated in the Telangana Revised Standard Data 2026-27, which treatment is appropriate when the RCC concrete and reinforcement are separately specified?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
The Telangana data describes concrete unit rates for the different grades of RCC work. It also provides for calculating reinforcement steel by mass as a separate item. The reinforcement quantity and the concrete volume are different measurements. They should be determined and priced according to their respective scheduled descriptions. The estimator must also check whether formwork is a separate item under the applicable BOQ.

Question 22
ప్రశ్న 22
An estimate has 30 m3 of excavation at Rs 280 per m3 and 6 m3 of PCC at Rs 6,200 per m3. Assume both rates are complete and no additions apply. What is the combined basic amount?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
The excavation item amount is 30 x 280 = Rs 8,400. The PCC item amount is 6 x 6,200 = Rs 37,200. They are separate items because excavation and concrete are measured and described differently. Adding the two amounts gives Rs 8,400 + Rs 37,200 = Rs 45,600. The sum is the basic total under the stated rates and exclusions.
వివరణ:
Question 23
ప్రశ్న 23
A contract pays for accepted plaster work by the actual measured area at an unchanged item rate of Rs 175 per m2. The original estimate allowed 100 m2, but the accepted completed quantity is 92 m2. What is the amount for that item before other adjustments?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
The original 100 m2 is an estimated quantity rather than the accepted measured quantity. The problem states that payment is based on the accepted actual measurement. Therefore the payable area is 92 m2. Multiplying 92 by Rs 175 per m2 gives Rs 16,100. Any different payment basis would have to be stated by the contract.
వివరణ:
Question 24
ప్రశ్న 24
Two scheduled entries share the same broad heading 'flooring' but differ in tile material, bedding and jointing requirements. What must be checked before choosing one for the BOQ?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
A chapter heading gives only a broad category of construction. Detailed item entries can distinguish the materials and workmanship that determine cost. The estimator must compare these descriptions with the approved drawings and specifications. The listed unit and any relevant notes also affect the measured quantity and rate. An incorrect item selection can create a misleading estimate even when the arithmetic is correct.
వివరణ:
Question 25
ప్రశ్న 25
An estimate contains 3.60 m3 of an RCC concrete item at Rs 7,100 per m3 and 120 m2 of separately measured plaster at Rs 185 per m2. Neither item includes the other, and no additional charges apply. What is the combined amount?
Select an option first. || ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
The RCC concrete amount is 3.60 x 7,100 = Rs 25,560. The plaster amount is 120 x 185 = Rs 22,200. These quantities have different dimensions and must be valued under separate schedule entries. Their monetary amounts can be added after each rate has been correctly applied. The combined amount is Rs 25,560 + Rs 22,200 = Rs 47,760.
