Solution

1. Total built up area= Carpet area+Area of walls etc

= Land area * FAR= 200×200×0.8= 32000 sq ft

Ground area coverage= Area covered by building in ground floor= 200×200×0.7=28000sqft

If single story then 28000sqft may be provided

If double storey32000 Sq ft may be provided.

If three storey 32000-28000= 4000sqft may be distributed in two storeys.

2. total built up area= 100×200×1.2= 24000sqft

Ground area coverage= 100×200×0.35= 7000sqft

At least one extra floor is required.

3.Height provided is OK as per building laws
