Using the above formula we have the following equation.
In traditional land measurement, biswa and gaj are frequently used side by side. When comparing properties or designing a layout, it helps to express the area in a single unit. In this explanation, we will convert 18 biswa into gaj using the local rule 1 biswa = 150 gaj, and then imagine what such a plot might look like in real situations.
| Step 1 | Write the unit relationship. By definition of this system: 1 biswa = 150 gaj. This is our fixed conversion factor. |
|---|---|
| Step 2 | Note the given area. We are working with a land parcel of 18 biswa. |
| Step 3 | Build the formula.
Total gaj = (number of biswa) × (gaj per biswa). |
| Step 4 | Substitute the numbers. Total gaj = 18 × 150. |
| Step 5 | Multiply carefully. 18 × 150 = 2700. |
| Step 6 | State the conclusion. We obtain 18 biswa = 2700 gaj. As a quick check, 10 biswa would be 1500 gaj and 8 biswa 1200 gaj; together they make 2700 gaj, so the result is consistent. |
A value like 2700 gaj represents a substantial piece of land. To make that size easier to understand, picture these seven possible uses for an 18-biswa plot:
| Unit | Value |
|---|---|
| 1 Biswa | 1350 Square Feet |
| 1 Biswa | 125.42 Square Meters |
| 1 Biswa | 150 Square Yards |
| 1 Biswa | 0.049 Bigha |
| 1 Biswa | 0.99 Katha |
| 1 Biswa | 150 Gaj |
| 1 Biswa | 25 Guntha |
| Biswa | Gaj |
