Question

The people of the Kunavaram village live in what type of house?
A. Houses made of cement and bricks
B. Houses made of stones
C. Houses made of mud, bamboo and thatch
D. Houses made of snow

Answer 1

Hint: Kunavaram is a village in the East Godavari district of the state of Andhra Pradesh. It was earlier a part of Telangana but was then made a part of Andhra Pradesh. The climatic conditions of the village are hot.

Complete answer: The total population of the village is 2293 and there are 604 houses. It is located near the Bay of Bengal so there is humidity sometimes in the weather. Only 35.5% of the population is working. The electricity is there for very little time in a day.
- Option A: Houses made of cement and bricks are not possible in this area as they are expensive to build and require a lot of manpower. The people of the village are not rich enough to build houses of cement and bricks and these houses get warm enough and as there is no electricity it gets difficult to live in. Hence, this is an incorrect option.
- Option B: Houses made of stones are not possible because for the same reason as above, the people are poor and there is no electricity. Hence, this is an incorrect option.
- Option C: Houses made of mud, bamboo, and thatch are possible because the raw materials are cheap and it requires less manpower to build houses with these materials. Also, they can keep the inside cool enough for the people to live. Hence, this is the correct option.
- Option D: Houses made of snow are not possible as there is no snow in the area. It is in Andhra Pradesh and the weather most of the time is hot. Hence, this is an incorrect option.

Hence , The correct answer is Option C.

Note: As it is a village the houses are small, and the people living there are not very rich and rely on agriculture for their income. It has an average elevation of 28m.
