Practice Architecture MCQs\, PYQs\, Planning\, Structures\, Building Materials\, and Government Architecture Exam questions with instant answers and real exam-level practice. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Which of the following is not correct?\n(A) V.Nath divided India into 15 macroregions\n(B) Ashok Mitra divided India into 5 macroregions\n(C) Praksh Rao and L. S. Bhatt divided country into macroregions\n(D) Chandreshekhar divided India into 13 macroregions \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n iii only\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n iv only\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n i only\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n i and iv only\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n This question asks which statement is not correct among claims about who\ndivided India into macroregions. Based on standard Indian regional-\ngeography literature\, V. Nath is commonly cited for multi-region\nclassifications (often listed as 15 macroregions)\, and Ashok Mitra has\npublished regional divisions (variously summarized as fewer broad\nmacroregions). Chandrashekhar (or similar researchers) has also been\ncredited with regional delineations (e.g.\, 13 regions). By contrast\, I could\nnot confidently corroborate that Prakash Rao and L. S. Bhatt specifically\nproduced a canonical macroregional division of India in standard texts;\ntheir work is more often cited on population and regional processes rather\nthan a canonical macroregion classification. Because I cannot consult\nsources in this session\, I mark (iii) only as the likely incorrect statement but\nstrongly recommend checking a regional-geography textbook (e.g.\, Indian\nregional geography references) or the original authors to confirm\ndefinitively. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Who among the following conceived the idea of shipping canal between India and Sri Lanka? \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n Farrel\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n C. J. Barrow\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n Luna Leopold\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n A. D. Taylor\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The idea of a shipping canal/link between India and Sri Lanka (often\ndiscussed historically in the context of the Sethusamudram/Mannar\nshipping route) has been considered by several planners and maritime\nengineers. A. D. Taylor is frequently cited in historical planning literature\nas an early proponent of a navigable channel to improve shipping between\nthe east and west coasts of India without circumnavigating Sri Lanka. The\nmore recent policy debates and project proposals (Sethusamudram\nProject) drew on many earlier concepts. That said\, multiple figures and\nfeasibility studies over decades contributed ideas; because I can’t fetch\nprimary historical sources now\, I accept A. D. Taylor as the named answer\nbut recommend checking a maritime-engineering or project history source\n(Sethusamudram archives) for documentary confirmation. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Gobi Desert lacks economic development. The reason is \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n the continental climate and remoteness\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n the sand dunes that have inhibited transport development\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n the mongoloid people are not motivated politically\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n the inaccessibility of the region\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Gobi Desert spans parts of northern China and southern Mongolia. Its\neconomic underdevelopment stems primarily from harsh continental\nclimate (extreme temperature swings\, low precipitation\, short growing\nseasons) and remoteness (sparse settlements\, long distances to markets\nand industrial centers). These factors hinder agriculture\, infrastructure\nprovision\, and urbanization. While sand dunes and local topography can\ncomplicate transport in places\, large parts of the Gobi are stony plains\nrather than migrating dune fields; the central limitations are climatic\nseverity and isolation\, which reduce viable economic activities and raise\ncosts for transport\, energy\, and basic services\, thereby constraining\nbroader development. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Statutory setback of a building depends on \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n Building Height\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n ground coverage\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n property boundary\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n privacy\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Setback requirements (required clearances from plot boundaries) in\nbuilding regulations are primarily designed to ensure light\, ventilation\,\nprivacy\, fire safety and circulation. Many municipal and building codes set\nsetbacks that scale with building height: taller buildings need larger\nsetbacks to reduce overshadowing\, allow firefighting access\, and provide\nadequate daylight for neighboring properties. When statutory rules specify\nsetbacks\, the height class of the building is the key variable for calculating\nminimum distances from boundaries.\n(In the official answer key\, this question was deleted for the final\nevaluation. The options here have been changed. The original options in\nthe question paper were property boundary\, width of access road\, ground\ncoverage and building height.) \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Alonso model is \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n None of the above\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n a type of iconic model used to forecast weather\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n a type of statistical derivation\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n a model to explain the pattern to land use and land value in urban areas\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Alonso (bid-rent) model explains urban land-use patterns and land\nvalues as functions of distance from the central business district (CBD).\nHouseholds and firms trade off land costs against accessibility: land near\nthe CBD is more valuable because of lower travel time to workplaces and\nmarkets\, so intensive/high-value uses (commercial\, institutional) dominate\ncentral areas\, while lower-rent uses (residential\, industrial) locate farther\nout. The model predicts a decline in land rent with distance\, concentric\nland-use rings (in its simplest form)\, and the economic logic behind\ncommuting/transport costs\, density gradients\, and land-value differentials.\nAlonso’s model is a core theoretical tool in urban economics and planning. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Congratulations!
