  1. α, β are the horizontal angles measured at the ends of a base line AB to a hill top whose angle of elevation from station A is θ°. The height of the hill top above the trunnion axis of the theodolite station, is


  2. Correct distance obtained by an erroneous chain is:

  3. A.

    \(\frac { \text{ Erroneous chain length} } {\text{ correct chain length} } \) x observed ditance 

    B.

    \(\frac { \text{ correct chain length } } {\text{ Erroneous chain length} } \) x observed distance

    C.

    \(\frac { \text{ correct chain length } } {\text{ observed distance} } \)  x  Erroneous chain length

    D.

  4. For preparation of a contour plan for a route survey

  5. A.

    method of squares is used

    B.

    method of trace contour is used

    C.

    method of cross profile is used

    D.

  6. Flint glass

  7. A.

    has slightly the greater refracting power than crown glass

    B.

    has roughly double refracting power than that of crown

    C.

    and crown glass proportions yield the required focal length and neutralise the dispersion produced by the convex lens at the emergence from the concave

  14. The power of a lens

  15. A.

    is reciprocal of its focal length

    B.

    D.

    is measured in diopter.

  18.  

    If h is the difference in height between end points of a chain of length l, the required slope correction is

  19. A.

    \( \frac { h^2 } { 2I } \)
