What type of toilet seat is required in a public washroom?

  1. Round closed front type

  2. Elongated closed front type

  3. Elongated open front type

  4. Round open front type

The correct answer is: Elongated open front type

In a public washroom, an elongated open front type toilet seat is required. This is because an elongated open front seat allows for easier cleaning and reduces the possibility of bacteria and germs accumulating. Although round closed front and elongated closed front toilet seats are common in residential bathrooms, they are not ideal for public accommodations due to hygienic concerns. Additionally, a round open front seat could lead to discomfort for users, while an elongated open front seat provides more space and a comfortable fit for individuals.
