Surveying miscellaneous

  1. The following measurements were made during testing a levelling instrument.

    P1 is close to P and Q1 is close to Q. If the reduced level of station P is 100.000 m, the reduced level of station Q is
    1. 99.000 m
    2. 100.000 m
    3. 101.000 m
    4. 102.000 m
Correct Option: C

Apparant diff. in elevation (from P) = 1.700 – 2.800 = – 1.1 m
Apparant diff. in elevation (from Q) = 1.800 – 2.700 = – 0.90 m

∴ True difference =
1.1 + 0.9
= 1 m
2

∴ True elevation of Q = 100 + 1 = 101 m
