    April 15
    B.
    June 14
    C.
    September 1
    D.
    December 25
    E.
    all the above.

  5. The prime vertical passes through

  6. A.
    the east point of the horizon
    B.
    the west point of the horizon
    C.
    the zenith point of the observer
    D.
    the nadir point of horizon
    E.
    all the above.

  7. Pick up the correct statement from the following :

  8. A.
    The principal point coincides with plumb point on a true vertical photograph
    B.
    The top of a hill appears on a truly vertical photograph at greater distance than its bottom from the principal point
    C.
    The top of a hill is represented on a vertical photograph at larger scale than the area of a nearby valley
    D.
    The planimetric displacement of the point due to relief on a truly vertical photograph is directly proportional to its distance from the principal point and also its elevation
    E.
    All the above.

  9. Homologous point is

  10. A.
    photo principal point
    B.
    ground principal point
    C.
    ground isocentre
    D.
    photo isocentre

  11. Pick up the correct statement from the following :

  12. A.
    North end of the polar axis is known as north pole
    B.
    South end of the polar axis is known as south pole
    C.
    Point where polar axis when produced northward intersects the celestial sphere, is known as north celestial pole
    D.
    Point where polar axis when produced southward intersects the celestial sphere, is known as south celestial pole
    E.
    all the above.

  13. The latitude of a place was obtained by subtracting the declination of a star from its zenith distance, the observed star was between

    D.
    S - 360°.

  17. The want of correspondence in stereo-photographs

  18. A.
    is a good property
    B.
    is a function of tilt
    C.
    is not affected by the change of flying height between photographs
    D.
    is minimum when θ is 3°.

  19. The latitude of a place was obtained by subtracting the zenith distance of a star from its declination, the observed star was between

  20. A.
    horizon and equator
    B.
    equator and zenith
    C.
    zenith and pole
    D.
    pole and horizon.
