Size = 0.4*0.05 = 0.2.
Length = 5 meters.
= 0.2*5*450 = 450.
C is the right answer.
Length = 5 meters.
= 0.2*5*450 = 450.
C is the right answer.

0.4*0.5 = 0.2.
L = 5 m
= 5*0.2*450 = 450.
L = 5 m
= 5*0.2*450 = 450.

It ask for cutting not total.

@Rajnish
The length of drain = 5m.
Width of drain as per figure = 0.5m.
Depth of drain as per figure = 0.4m.
Total qty = 5 * 0.5 * 0.4 = 1 cum.
As per the question, cum excavation rate is 450%.
So the total cost required for excavation of drain is = 1 * 450 = Rs.450.
Therefore, the answer is C.
The length of drain = 5m.
Width of drain as per figure = 0.5m.
Depth of drain as per figure = 0.4m.
Total qty = 5 * 0.5 * 0.4 = 1 cum.
As per the question, cum excavation rate is 450%.
So the total cost required for excavation of drain is = 1 * 450 = Rs.450.
Therefore, the answer is C.

I think that Rs. 450 is given for per 100 cum.
Which means its Rs. 4.5 per cum.
Which means its Rs. 4.5 per cum.

5*0.5*0.4=1cum at 450 = Rs.450 is right. So the answer is C.

Out of the quantities of various item earthwork in an excavation in the foundation, PCC works in the foundation with 1:4:8 proportion, bricks work 1:6 foundation and plinth, damp proof course 2.5 cm thick, plastering 1.6 both side of wall and plinth wall.
