SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. four techniques of plane table surveying.
(i) Radiation
(ii) Traversing
(iii) Intersection
(iv) Resection
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. Multiplying factor is the ratio of focal length to the objective of stadia interval.
▭(K=f/i)
Where, K = multiplying factor
f = focal length
i = stadia interval
S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. true length of survey line (L) = 500 m.
Measured length of the line (L’) = 502 m.
True or designated length of the chain (l) = 20 m.
Actual/ incorrect length of chain (l’) =?
L×l=L^’×l^’
500×20=502×l^’
l^’=500/502×20
▭(l^’=19.92 m.)
S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. Contour interval is the vertical distance between two consecutive contours. It is inversely proportional to the scale of the map, time and money.
S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. Reciprocal levelling is the levelling between two widely separated points in which observation are made in both directions. It eliminates collimation and curvature error fully and refraction error partly.
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. → Closely space contour lines ⇒ Steep slope
→ Apart contour lines ⇒ Gentle slope
→ equally spaced contour lines ⇒ Uniform slope
→ Straight parallel and equally spaced contour lines ⇒ Plane surface.
S7. Ans.(b)
Sol. the error in the horizontal circle readings due to the line of collimation can be eliminated by taking readings on both the faces.
S8. Ans.(b)
Sol. in the case of loose needle method, the direction of the magnetic meridian is established at each traverse station and the direction of the line is determined with reference to the magnetic meridian.
S9. Ans.(a)
Sol. Any station or point of known reduce level is known as bench mark. Government departments such as PWD, railway etc. are responsible for establishing permanent benchmarks.
S10. Ans.(c)
Sol. ▭(Shrunk ratio =(Shrunk length)/(Original length))
