1Which property makes granite a preferred stone for heavy foundation and base courses?
A.High porosity and easy scratch resistance only
B.High compressive strength and durability against weathering
C.Low density that floats in water
D.Softness that allows carving with a fingernail
Explanation: Granite is an igneous rock with high compressive strength and excellent weather resistance, widely used for foundations, base courses, and heavy structural stonework.
2In building stone classification by geological origin, limestone is typically grouped as which type?
A.Igneous rock formed from molten magma
B.Sedimentary rock formed mainly by deposition and consolidation
C.Metamorphic rock formed only under volcanic heat
D.Artificial cementitious block
Explanation: Limestone is a sedimentary rock formed largely by deposition of calcium carbonate sediments that consolidate over time.
3Dressing of stone primarily means which operation?
A.Testing only the colour of the quarry face
B.Shaping and finishing quarried stone to required sizes and surfaces for construction
C.Burning stone to produce cement clinker
D.Mixing stone powder with bitumen for roads only
Explanation: Dressing is cutting, shaping, and finishing stone after quarrying so faces, edges, and sizes suit masonry requirements.
4Which of the following is a common field method of stone quarrying for moderately hard rock?
A.Only magnetic separation of ore
B.Wedging, blasting, or channeling depending on rock hardness and site
C.Freezing the stone overnight with liquid nitrogen only
D.Dissolving stone completely in strong acid before use
Explanation: Quarrying methods include wedging for soft-to-medium rock, blasting for hard rock, and channeling/machine cutting where appropriate.
5First-class bricks as commonly specified for quality building work should generally be:
A.Under-burnt, soft, and highly porous
B.Well burnt, uniform in size and colour, with sharp edges and clear ringing sound when struck
C.Heavily salt-effloresced with deep cracks allowed
D.Irregular in shape so they interlock without mortar
Explanation: Good first-class bricks are well burnt, uniform, sharp-edged, free from serious cracks/warping, and give a clear metallic ring.
6The water absorption test for bricks is mainly used to judge which aspect of brick quality?
A.Only the exact chemical formula of clay minerals
B.Porosity and resistance to weathering/damp conditions related to durability
C.Magnetic susceptibility of iron content alone
D.Ability of the brick to dissolve completely in rain
Explanation: Water absorption reflects porosity; high absorption bricks are more prone to dampness and strength loss, so the test helps assess durability.
7In standard brick manufacture, the stage of drying green bricks before firing is important mainly to:
A.Add maximum free water so they melt in the kiln
B.Reduce moisture gradually and minimise cracking or warping during burning
C.Coat bricks with tar for waterproofing before firing
D.Increase iron oxide by water contact only
Explanation: Controlled drying removes free water so rapid steam generation and differential shrinkage during firing do not crack or warp the brick.
8Efflorescence on brick masonry is commonly associated with which cause?
A.Presence of soluble salts that migrate and crystallise on the surface with moisture movement
B.Only pure distilled water with no salts ever present
C.Excess steel reinforcement inside solid clay bricks
D.Application of pure silica sand paint only
Explanation: Soluble salts in bricks, mortar, or groundwater can be carried by moisture and crystallise on drying surfaces as white powdery deposits.
9The compressive strength test of bricks is performed primarily to determine:
A.Only the colour shade number of the kiln batch
B.The load-carrying capacity of the brick under crushing load
C.The exact melting point of clay minerals in degrees only
D.The electrical conductivity of the brick face
Explanation: Compressive strength testing loads brick specimens to failure to quantify their strength class for masonry use.
10Which statement about modular bricks (common Indian practice) is most accurate?
A.They have no fixed size and vary randomly on each wall
B.They are manufactured to modular dimensions so that wall thickness and bond work out in multiples of the module including mortar joints
C.They must always be 1 metre long for every course
D.They are used only for roof tiles, never walls
Explanation: Modular brick sizes are standardised so that with mortar joints, lengths and wall thicknesses fit modular planning and bond patterns.
