  1. During a levelling work along a falling gradient using a Dumpy level and a Staff of 3m length, following successive readings were taken: 1.785, 2.935, 0.360, 1.320. What will be the correct order of booking these four readings in a level book? (BS : Back Sight IS : Intermediate Sight, FS : Fore Sight)
    1. BS, FS, BS, FS
    2. BS, IS, FS, FS
    3. BS, IS, IS, FS
    4. BS, IS, BS, FS
Correct Option: A

For first reading it is BS and then FS. Sudden change in value represent shifting of instrument. Therefore again first reading BS and then FS.
