Assuming 20% of the total population being higher secondary school going children and expected enrolment being 80% with per capita floor space requirement of 5.0 sqm. then minimum land required for school building with 40% ground coverage and FAR 0.5 would be
-
- 1.0 hectares
- 1.6 hectares
- 2.2 hectares
- 2.8 hectares
Correct Option: B
20% of 10,000 people = 5000 higher secondary school going children
Enrolement is 80% of 5000 = 4000 students
Per capita floor space requiremnt = 5 sq m
Therefore, for 4000 students, floor space or built up required = 4000 × 5 = 20,000 sq m
Plot Area = Built up / FAR = 20,000/0.5 = 40,000 sq m = 4 hectares
Ground Coverage = 40% of 4 hecatres = 1.6 hecatres
1.6 hectares is the minimum land equired for school building for 4000 children.
