  1. A Bench Mark has been established at the soffit of an ornamental arch at the known elevation of 100.0 m above sea level. The back sight used to establish height of instrument is an inverted staff reading of 2.105 m. A forward sight reading with normally held staff of 1.105 m is taken on a recently constructed plinth. The elevation of the plinth is
    1. 103.210 m
    2. 101.000 m
    3. 99.000 m
    4. 96.790 m
Correct Option: D

HI = BM + BS = 100 – 2.105 (inverted reading) = 97.895
FS = HI – level. = 97.895 – 1.105 = 96.79 m
