Questions and instructions

Literal question

Floor area of the living room (in square feet and in whole numbers)

Interviewer instructions

Information for each of these q.4 to q.7 is to be recorded in square feet and in whole numbers. The information on inside floor area (carpet area), i.e., the inside area of the floor excluding the area covered by the walls, of all “living rooms” taken together is to be recorded against item 4 and that of “other rooms” will be recorded against q.5. If a room is used both for business and residential purposes and the residential use is not very nominal, the total area of the room will be included for recording the entry. On the other hand, if only a portion of a room is used for residential purposes, only the area of that portion will be included for making the entry. The same procedure will be adopted in case of room being shared with another household. The floor area of the “covered veranda” and that of “uncovered veranda” is to be recorded against q.6 and q.7, respectively.
