burden (b) = 3 m
Spacing (s) = 4 m
Height (h) = 10 m
Unit weight = 2.5 tonne/m3
So, production from 1 hole = b × s × h × unit weight = 3 × 4 × 10 × 2.5 = 300 tonne
Number of holes blasted = 60
So, total production = 300 × 60 = 18000 tonne
2. (B)
Explanation:
The drill hole dia. (𝑑)= 250 mm = 0.250 m
Explosives occupied length = height of the bench + sub-grade drilling – stemming length
Explosives occupied length (𝑙) = 12 + 2 - 4 = 10 m
𝜋𝑑 2 𝜋 × 0.2502
So, explosives occupied volume = ×𝑙= × 10 = 0.490 m3
4 4
Amount of explosives occupied = volume × s.g.= 0.490 × 0.8 = 0.392 tonne = 392 kg

1. A mine has to carry out drilling with 160 mm diameter drill holes in
sandstone rockmass. For a bench height of 10 m, 12 m drill holes are
drilled with a drilling rate of 20 m/hr. Determine the drilling Capital cost
(in Rs./m) considering the following data ______. [Rounded off to 2
decimal places]
Price of drill machine: Rs 10 Million.
Working days in a year: 250
Working hours in a day: 18 hours
Drill machine life: 10 years
Answer Range : 11 - 12
Answer: Drill machine cost = Rs 1 crore = Rs 1,00,00,000
Working hours in a year = 250 × 18 = 4500 hours
Drill machine life = 10 years
So, drill machine can be used = 4500 × 10 = 45000 hours
1,00,00,000
So, capital cost of the drill machine = = 222.22 𝑅𝑠/ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟
45000
Per hour drill machine can drill = 20 m
So, capital cost per meter = 222.22/20 = 11.11 Rs/m
drilled with a drilling rate of 20 m/hr. Determine the drilling
Maintenance cost (in Rs./m) considering the following data. [Rounded
off to 2 decimal places]
Price of drill machine: Rs 1,80,00,000
Working days in a year: 250
Working hours in a day: 18 hours
Drill machine life: 10 years
Maintenance cost: 10 % of Capital cost
Answer Range : 1.5 – 2.5
Answer: Drill machine cost = Rs 1 crore = Rs 1,80,00,000
Working hours in a year = 250 × 18 = 4500 hours
Drill machine life = 10 years
So, drill machine can be used = 4500 × 10 = 45000 hours
1,80,00,000
So, capital cost of the drill machine = = 400 𝑅𝑠/ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠
45000
Per hour drill machine can drill = 20 m
So, capital cost per meter = 400/20 = 20 Rs/m
It is given in the question; maintenance cost is 10 % of the capital cost.
10
So, Maintenance cost = × 20 = 𝑅𝑠 2/𝑚
100
drilled with a drilling rate of 20 m/hr. Determine the Operating cost (in
Rs./m) considering the following data. [Rounded off to 2 decimal places]
Price of drill machine: Rs 1,80,00,000
Hourly diesel consumption: 20 lit
Price of Diesel: Rs. 100/lit
Bit Life:1000 m
Bit Price: Rs. 10,000
Manpower cost: Rs 30 /m
Answer: type range: 139 to 141
Answer:
Operating cost = Power cost + Consumables + Manpower cost
Power cost:
Diesel consumption of the drill machine = 20 lit/hour
Per hour diesel expenditure = 20 × 100 = 2000 Rs/hour
Power cost per meter drilling = 2000/20 = 100 Rs/m
Consumables:
Bit life = 1000 m
Bit price = Rs 10,000
So, bit cost per meter = 10,000 / 1000 = Rs 10/m
Manpower cost is given = Rs 30/m
So, operating cost = Power cost + Consumables + Manpower cost
= 100 + 10 + 30 = Rs 140 / m
4. Which of these below mentioned costs are included in the Operating

cost?
1. Power cost
2. Overhead cost
3. Capital cost
4. Manpower cost
A) Option 1 + Option 2
