The type of pointing in which a V-shaped projection outside the wall surface, is provided, is called

A. Recessed pointing

B. Weather pointing

C. V-pointing

D. Tuck pointing

Answer: Option C

Solution (By Examveda Team)

V-pointing is a type of pointing in which the mortar joint is finished to form a V-shaped projection outside the wall surface.

This shape is achieved by using a special tool that creates a neat and defined V-groove or ridge along the joint.

It not only enhances the aesthetic appearance of the masonry work but also helps in shedding water effectively.

Other types like recessed pointing are set back from the surface, weather pointing is sloped, and tuck pointing is decorative with contrasting mortar.

Hence, the correct answer is Option C: V-pointing.

    It's weather pointing
    While there is a style known as V-pointing, it typically refers to a V-shaped groove cut into the joint rather than a projection outside the wall surface.
