Test 22 - Preparation of Lead Statements

Question 1 ప్రశ్న 1

What is the principal purpose of a lead statement accompanying the detailed estimate of a pump-house civil work?

A To establish the bearing capacity of the soil at every material source. B To document approved material sources or earth-disposal points, routes, transport quantities, leads and relevant conveyance conditions for estimating. C To replace the bill of quantities with a single transport rate for all materials. D To certify that every material delivered from a quarry meets its strength specification.

Question 2 ప్రశ్న 2

Which combination of fields gives the MOST complete lead-statement entry for purchased coarse aggregate intended for an RCC pump-house?

A Material name, unit price of cement, reinforcement diameter and weather forecast. B Quarry name and total building plinth area, without identifying a delivery point. C Transporter's name and number of vehicles, with no material quantity or route. D Material and specification, approved source, destination, quantity with unit, authorized route and one-way lead, transport mode and applicable rate basis.

Question 3 ప్రశ్న 3

A lead statement lists 'stone from Quarry A' without the quarry location or an identifiable loading point. Two separate quarries in the district use the name Quarry A. Which correction is essential?

A Record the approved quarry's unique location or identification and loading point so that the origin and route can be verified. B Use whichever Quarry A is nearer after the estimate has already been sanctioned. C Leave the entry unchanged because the material name alone fixes its source. D Record only the colour of the stone in place of the loading location.

Question 4 ప్రశ్న 4

For an earthwork estimate, the approved measurement procedure expressly requires the shortest practicable route rather than a longer route selected by the contractor. The mapped straight-line distance from an excavation block to its authorized disposal area is 2.0 km, but a canal makes that line impassable. The shortest practicable approved route is 3.4 km, whereas the contractor elects to travel 4.1 km. Which route distance should be recorded before applying the stipulated lead classification?

A 2.0 km, because a straight line is always the measured lead. B 4.1 km, because the distance actually travelled is always payable. C 3.4 km, because it is the shortest practicable route. D 6.1 km, by adding the straight-line and actual travel distances.

Question 5 ప్రశ్న 5

A lead-statement route from an approved sand source to a water-treatment site has three successive nonoverlapping road sections of 1.8 km, 2.4 km and 3.1 km. What one-way route distance should be entered if these sections form the authorized continuous route?

A 5.5 km. B 7.3 km. C 14.6 km. D 4.2 km.

Question 6 ప్రశ్న 6

A truck transports crushed stone from a quarry to a project site along an approved 18 km one-way route and returns empty along the same road. The lead statement asks specifically for ONE-WAY lead. What distance should be shown?

A 18 km. B 36 km. C 9 km. D 0 km because the return trip is empty.

Question 7 ప్రశ్న 7

A water-supply project uses sand from approved Source S, 6 km away, and coarse aggregate from approved Quarry Q, 14 km away. Both materials are delivered to the same batching plant. Which lead-statement treatment is correct?

A Use a common lead of 10 km for each material without retaining individual source details. B Use 14 km for both materials because it is the greater distance. C Use 6 km for both materials because it is the smaller distance. D Enter separate sand and aggregate rows with their respective sources, quantities and leads of 6 km and 14 km.

Question 8 ప్రశ్న 8

A pipeline project obtains approved earth for trench reinstatement from a location outside the site and sends unsuitable surplus excavation to another approved location. How should these movements be described in a lead statement?

A Both movements should be listed as incoming borrow material because earth is involved. B Both should be omitted because excavation and disposal automatically cancel each other. C Show incoming material from the borrow area to the work site and outgoing surplus from the work site to the designated spoil-disposal area as separate movements. D Measure only the distance between the borrow area and spoil bank, ignoring the work site.

Question 9 ప్రశ్న 9

An excavation produces 120 m3 of accepted in-situ earth. Of this, 45 m3 is approved for reuse within the site and the remaining material must be moved to an authorized spoil bank. All quantities in the lead statement are to be recorded on the same in-situ basis, with no further adjustments. What quantity belongs in the outgoing spoil-conveyance row?

A 75 m3. B 45 m3. C 120 m3. D 165 m3.

Question 10 ప్రశ్న 10

A lead statement shows 60 m3 of excavated earth measured in situ, while a proposed haulage quotation applies to loose cubic metres. The project expressly adopts a loose-volume factor of 1.25, with all the excavated earth transported. Which pair of quantities should be recorded to keep the bases clear?

A 60 m3 in situ and 60 m3 loose, because handling cannot alter bulk volume. B 75 m3 in situ and 60 m3 loose. C 60 m3 in situ and 75 m3 loose. D 48 m3 in situ and 60 m3 loose.

Question 11 ప్రశ్న 11

An embankment requires 72 m3 of completed compacted fill, and the approved planning assumption is 1.20 loose m3 of borrow earth per compacted cubic metre. Which material requirement should accompany the borrow-area lead entry?

A 60.0 loose m3. B 72.0 loose m3. C 144.0 loose m3. D 86.4 loose m3.

Question 12 ప్రశ్న 12

A project has an approved carriage item for truck delivery of manufactured pipes, and a separate item for manual carriage where truck access is impossible. What is the correct basis for describing the transport mode in the lead statement?

A Enter 'manual' for all materials because a short part of the project contains trenches. B Record the actual approved transport arrangement or its separately authorized stages and match each to the governing schedule or contract item. C Choose whichever transport mode produces the higher amount, without documenting the route. D Leave the transport mode blank because only source-to-site distance influences conveyance cost.

Question 13 ప్రశ్న 13

An approved pipe-delivery route comprises 5.2 km of truck-accessible road from the supplier to a transfer point and a further 0.3 km of authorized manual carriage to the installation store. Which statement entry best preserves the transport information without double counting?

A Record 5.2 km by truck and 0.3 km by manual carriage as successive segments, with a total source-to-store route of 5.5 km. B Record 5.5 km by truck and another 5.5 km by manual carriage for the same full load. C Record only 0.3 km because the final segment determines the whole lead. D Record 10.7 km because the manual movement must be added twice.

Question 14 ప్రశ్న 14

An earthwork contract requires a block-wise lead statement because different portions of the excavated material are deposited at different authorized locations. Block A contains 45 m3 of spoil conveyed 120 m, while Block B contains 30 m3 conveyed 310 m. Which presentation is appropriate?

A Combine the volumes into 75 m3 and assign an unverified lead of 310 m to everything. B Combine the volumes into 75 m3 and assign the shorter 120 m lead to everything. C Remove the 30 m3 entry because its lead exceeds 250 m. D Retain 45 m3 at 120 m and 30 m3 at 310 m as separately identifiable block-wise entries.

Question 15 ప్రశ్న 15

The approved statement names Quarry A as the source of coarse aggregate, but the contractor wants to substitute Quarry B, which has a different route and a longer distance. What is the proper estimating response?

A Alter the source name and distance in the payment record without informing the engineer. B Obtain the required material-source and contractual approvals, verify Quarry B's route and revise the statement and any authorized rate consequences. C Automatically pay the contractor for the longer lead solely because Quarry B is farther away. D Retain Quarry A's name but record Quarry B's delivery trips as if they came from Quarry A.

Question 16 ప్రశ్న 16

Excavated soil from a trench must be carried over an intervening bank before disposal. For this problem, the approved lift-measurement procedure defines the obstruction-related lift as the vertical difference between the centre of gravity of the excavated soil and the highest point of the bank that must be crossed. The soil's centre of gravity is at RL 99.40 m and the top of the bank is at RL 104.10 m. What geometric lift should the supporting lead-and-lift statement show?

A 3.10 m. B 5.30 m. C 4.70 m. D 203.50 m.

Question 17 ప్రశ్న 17

A 20 m2 excavation of uniform plan area reaches 3.20 m below original ground level. The approved project statement requires the excavation quantity to be divided into the depth bands 0–1.5 m, greater than 1.5–3.0 m, and greater than 3.0–4.5 m. What are the respective stage quantities?

A 30 m3, 30 m3 and 4 m3. B 64 m3, 64 m3 and 64 m3. C 20 m3, 20 m3 and 20 m3. D 30 m3, 34 m3 and 0 m3.

Question 18 ప్రశ్న 18

For a particular approved material-carriage item, the project schedule defines total-lead bands as: up to and including 1 km; exceeding 1 km up to and including 3 km; and exceeding 3 km up to and including 5 km. A lead statement records an authorized one-way route of exactly 3.00 km. Which band applies?

A Up to and including 1 km. B Exceeding 3 km up to and including 5 km. C Both the second and third bands. D Exceeding 1 km up to and including 3 km.

Question 19 ప్రశ్న 19

A draft lead-statement abstract adds a full carriage charge for 2.5 km, although the basic supply item expressly includes carriage for the first 1.0 km. The project specifies that only authorized conveyance beyond the included portion is payable separately. What correction is necessary?

A Increase the claimed route to 3.5 km to account for vehicle return. B Remove the entire transport entry because all materials have unlimited free carriage. C Show the complete authorized 2.5 km route for traceability but calculate any extra charge only as permitted after accounting for the 1.0 km already included. D Apply full conveyance twice, once under the supply item and once under the lead statement.

Question 20 ప్రశ్న 20

An approved lead statement shows 36 m3 of sand from Quarry S to a project site. For this example, the delivered cost is calculated using an ex-source sand price of Rs 980 per m3 and a complete carriage charge of Rs 150 per m3 for the authorized route, with all loading and unloading covered and no other additions. What is the total delivered amount?

A Rs 35,280. B Rs 40,680. C Rs 5,400. D Rs 46,080.

Question 21 ప్రశ్న 21

Two approved quarries can supply 40 m3 of aggregate meeting the same project specification. Quarry A offers an ex-source rate of Rs 600 per m3 and approved carriage of Rs 180 per m3; Quarry B offers Rs 650 per m3 and approved carriage of Rs 100 per m3. With no other cost differences, which lead-statement comparison is correct?

A Quarry B gives a saving of Rs 1,200 on the 40 m3 requirement. B Quarry A gives a saving of Rs 1,200 because its material price is lower. C Both sources have exactly the same delivered amount. D Quarry B is Rs 3,200 more expensive because its basic material price is higher.

Question 22 ప్రశ్న 22

A lead-statement abstract contains two separately approved movements: 24 m3 of selected borrow soil at a complete additional carriage rate of Rs 80 per m3, and 18 m3 of spoil at Rs 95 per m3. Both quantities use the stated payable cubic-metre basis and no other additions apply. What is the combined additional conveyance amount?

A Rs 1,920. B Rs 1,710. C Rs 4,320. D Rs 3,630.

Question 23 ప్రశ్న 23

A lead statement records 1.2 km of earthwork conveyance, but its accompanying contract description expressly states that the applicable conveyance rate already includes loading and unloading. The contractor requests separate payments for both operations without identifying any authorized extra work. Which estimating treatment is appropriate?

A Automatically add separate loading and unloading charges for every transported cubic metre. B Apply the inclusive conveyance rate without duplicating loading and unloading charges, unless a distinct authorized extra-work provision applies. C Assume that the recorded lead covers only vehicle movement and that loading and unloading must always be measured separately. D Delete the authorized route information because the loading method alone determines the transport charge.

Question 24 ప్రశ్న 24

A contractor's lead statement includes material quantities and claimed routes but provides no supporting quarry approvals, route identification or references to the relevant measurement records. What should be done before using it as the basis of an estimate or payment?

A Accept it because all tabulated distances are automatically certified measurements. B Replace the quantities with truck capacities and retain the claimed distances. C Verify the approved sources and destinations, route evidence, quantities, units and applicable contractual provisions, and correct unsupported entries. D Apply the highest conveyance rate to compensate for missing records.

Question 25 ప్రశ్న 25

A project-specific lead-statement abstract gives three authorized additional-conveyance rows: 24 m3 of borrow earth at Rs 80 per m3; 18 m3 of spoil at Rs 95 per m3; and 6,000 bricks at Rs 210 per 1,000 bricks. All rates are complete and no other charges apply. What is the total additional conveyance amount?

A Rs 4,890. B Rs 3,630. C Rs 5,100. D Rs 6,150.
