Long term capital gain tax on sale of a residential plot

I've sold  a residential plot and need to buy a builder flat. Want to understand the LTCG tax implications. Pls help me by clarifying the following queries:

1-  Can we purchase 2 flats or all the proceeds have to be invested in one flat only?

2- How to calculate the capital gains- the plot was bought in 1993 and sold in Apr 2012?

3- What are the expenses (like brokerag etc) that can be deducted from the proceeds to calculate the LTCG tax?
