- A public utility building of 5000 m2 was constructed 5 years before, on a site of 1 hectare. The present value of open land in that location is Rs. 100/m2 and present construction cost of such building is Rs. 2500/m2. If the value of the building is assumed to be depreciating at a constant rate of 6 percent per annum, then the present value of the property using ‘Valuatin by Cost Method’ is ______ (in Rs. Lakh) (rounded off to one decimal place).

Present Land value = Rs. 100 × 10,000 = Rs. 10 lakhs
Cost of Construction of the building = Total Area × Per Sq m
Cost of Construction = 5,000 × 2500 = 125 lakhs
Depreciation rate = 6% Value of the building after depreciation in 5 years = 125 (1 – r)n = 125 × (1 – 0.06)5 = 91.7 lakhs
Present Value of Property = Land Value + Building Value = 10+ 91.7 = 101.7 lakhsCorrect Option: C

The volume of a prismoid is :
V = - 1 (A1 + 4Am + A2) 6
Where: V = Volume (cubic feet) Am = Middle Area or Area of a plane surface midway between A1 and A2, A1 and A2 are the areas of the end sections. L is distance between top and bottom cross-section.V = 
3 
× {[96 + (4 × 24) + 6]} = 198 = 99 cu m 6 2
Correct Option: B
