Angle between two plane mirrors of an optical square is
60°
45°
30°
28
Two contour lines having same elevation
can unite together
can cross each other
cannot unite together
cannot cross each other
Differential levelling is also called as
Fly levelling
Check levelling
Reciprocal levelling
Profile levelling
The instrument used for accurate centering in plane table survey is
Plumb Bob
Alidade
Plumb Fork
Trough Compass
The survey in which curvature of the Earth is taken into account is called
Recce Survey
Earthwork Survey
Geographic Survey
Geodetic Survey
The lines, joining points of equal magnetic declination are called as
Agonic lines
Isogonic lines
Isoclinic lines
Aclinic lines
What are the basic objectives and purposes of survey Discuss the basic principles of survey.
A survey line AB was measured by a chain of 30 m length and was found to be 2340 m. The same line AB when measured by a 20 m chain length recorded 2350 m. While calibrating, 30 m chain was found to be 2 cm too short. What was the error in the 20 m chain?
Write in brief the process of temporary adjustments of theodolite.
Explain with neat sketches how the following angles are measured with the help of theodolite
Horizontal angle
Vertical angle

42°58'
156°12'
219°47'
327°34'
During a compass survey a traverse ABCDE was run. The bearings as measured are recorded in the table given below. Compute the interior angles of the traverse. Also calculate the closing error, if any.
