QUESTION: 1

Subtense bar is an instrument used for

A.
Levelling
B.
Measurement of horizontal distances in plane areas
C.
Measurement of horizontal distances in undulated areas
D.
Measurement of angles

Solution:

QUESTION: 2

Which one of the following gives the correct distance between the lighthouse and a ship, when the lighthouse whose height is 100 m is visible just above the horizon from the ship?

A.
30.68 km
B.
36.50 km
C.
38.54 km
D.
40.54 km

Solution:

If d is the distance to the visible horizon, it is given by,

‘C' being in metres,
∴

QUESTION: 3

Which of the following sights will be applicable for a change point?

A.
Back sight
B.
Intermediate sight and fore sight
C.
Foresight
D.
Back sight and fore sight

Solution:

A change point is the point selected on the route before shifting the instrument. The change point is also called a turning point. The staff is kept on the turning point and a foresight is taken before shifting the instrument. The staff should not be moved when the instrument is being shifted. After the instrument has been shifted and set up at the new location, a back sight is taken on the staff still held at the change point.

QUESTION: 4

Curvature correction to a staff reading in a differential levelling survey is

A.
Always subtractive
B.
Always zero
C.
Always additive
D.
Dependent on latitude

Solution:

QUESTION: 5

Which one of the following statements is not correct?

A.
Change point is a point denoting shifting of level
B.
For levelling work both centering and levelling of a dumpy level are prerequisite
C.
Bench mark is a point whose RL is always, known
D.
None of the above

Solution:

QUESTION: 6

The bubble tube parallel to the telescope of a theodolite should be more sensitive, since it controls.

A.
Vertical axis
B.
Horizontal axis
C.
Axis of bubble tube
D.
None of these

Solution:

QUESTION: 7

A line of levels was run from Bench Mark A (770.815) to a Bench Mark B (772.940). The sum of back sights was 32.665 m and sum of fore sights was 30,44 m. The closing error is (in m)

A.
0.105
B.
0.100
C.
0.205
D.
0.200

Solution:

RL_B = RL_A + ∑BS - ∑FS
RL_B = 770.815 + 32.665 - 30.44
= 773.035
∴ Closing error = 773.035 - 772.940 = 0.10

QUESTION: 8

The RL of a classroom floor is 30.00 m and the staff reading on the floor is 1.40 m. The staff reading when, held inverted with the bottom touching the Tee beam of the roof is 3.67 m. The height of the beam above the floor is

A.
35.07 m
B.
2.27 m
C.
5.07 m
D.
27.73 m

Solution:

Height = staff reading on floor + inverted staff reading
= 1.40 + 3.67 = 5.07 m

QUESTION: 9

The distance of visible horizon from a height of 36 m above mean sea level is given by

Solution:

QUESTION: 10

If sensitivity of the bubble tube is 30" per 2 mm division then what would be the error in staff reading on a vertically held staff at a distance of 200 m when its bubble is out of centre by 2.5 divisions.
