  6. WORNG Ans. 1 'bigha' = 2 kanaals = 10,89 sq ft
    Right :- 1 'bigha' = 2 kanaals = 10,890 sq ft,= 610 sq yd

    ReplyDelete
  7. Yes Mr. Jaawed Rana is right.

    But Mr. Jawed ur calculation about the Sq. yards is wrong. Its not 610 Sq. Yards. It will be 1210 Sq. Yards

    Ans. 1 'bigha' = 2 kanaals = 10,89 sq ft
    Right :- 1 'bigha' = 2 kanaals = 10,890 sq ft,= 610 sq yd


    ReplyDelete
