Common mistakes

• Reading 4.5 aana as 4 aana 5 paisa. There are only 4 paisa in an aana, so 4.5 aana is 4 aana 2 paisa (0-4-2-0), 1,540.13 sq ft.
• Taking plot area for floor area. A 4-aana plot is 1,369 sq ft of land; at 70% ground coverage the ground floor can be at most 958.3 sq ft, while a house of several floors can total more than the plot.
• Using 342 sq ft an aana. Close, but the exact figure is 342.25, and the 0.25 sq ft per aana adds up to 4 sq ft over a ropani.
