Max. Marks: 60 Duration: 3 Hours
PART A
Answer all questions, each carries 5 marks. Marks
1 List any five common errors in chaining.
2 What are the steps involved invertical angle measurement in theodolite?
3 What are the temporary adjustments in levelling?
PART B
Answer any five questions, each carries 7 marks.
4 What are the different methods to carry out chaining on a sloping ground? Explain
with suitable figures?

5 Following perpendicular offsets were taken from a chain line to a curved
boundary line at intervals of 15m.
5.2, 4.6, 6.6, 8.7, 6.2, 3.2, 4.5. Compute the area between the chain line and
curved boundary by Trapezoidal rule.

Differentiate true bearing and magnetic bearing.
6 Explain the method of intersection in plane table surveying.
Explain the method of solution of a three point problem in plane table survey by
mechanical method.

7 Explain horizontal angle measurement by repetition method using theodolite.
8 Write any four characteristics of contours.
What is the significance of longitudinal sectioning and cross sectioning in
levelling?

9 What are the advantages and uses of Total station in surveying?
What is the working principle and applications of GPS?
PART C
Answer any one question, carries 10 marks.
10 Write the procedure for resection after orientation by two point problem in a plane
table survey.

11 The following staff readings were observed successively with level, the
instrument having been moved after the second, fourth and eighth readings0.325,
1.855, 2.625, 1.485, 2.430, 3.225, 4.225, 0.420, 1.575, 2.500, 3.750. Enter the
above readings in a page of a level book and calculate R.L of points using height
of instrument method. The first reading was taken with the staff held upon a
Bench Mark of elevation 135.000. Also find the difference in level between first
and last point.
