Solution (By Examveda Team)

Ashlar masonry is a type of stone masonry where finely dressed stones of uniform size and shape are arranged in horizontal layers.

In this masonry, stones of the same height are laid in regular courses, ensuring minimal mortar joints and a neat appearance.

It is one of the strongest and most durable forms of masonry, often used in important buildings, monuments, and bridges due to its aesthetic and structural advantages.

Since this masonry consists of stones laid in layers with the same height, it is classified as Ashlar Masonry.
