Answer any FIVE Questions
All Questions carry equal marks

1. (a) Two stations at elevations of and are sighted by a theodolite in which the
line of collimation is inclined to the trunnion axis at an angel (90
0
- e), where
e is small. [9+7]
i. Derive an expression for the error in the horizontal angel between the two
stations as given by the instrument.
ii. Show by a diagram the eect of the collimation error on the vertical circle
reading of one station.
iii. What is the eect of measuring the horizontal and vertical angles on both
faces?
(b) In a straight line ABC, AB measure 354.384 m, BC measures 282.092 m and
AC measures 636.318 m using a particular EDM reector combination. A line
measures 533.452 m with this instrument reector combination. What is the
correct length of the line?
2. (a) A man travels from a point A to due to west and reaches the point B. The
distance between A and B = 139.6 m. Calculate the latitude and departure
of the line AB. [8+8]
(b) For the following traverse, nd the length of DE so that A, E and F may be
in the same straight line.

3. (a) Derive the equation for elevation for a case when the sta is held vertical and
line of sight of tacheometer is inclined upwards. [8+8]
(b) Derive an expression for horizontal distance of vertical sta from a theodolite
with stadia diaphragm, when the line of sight is horizontal. Explain how the
usual expression for horizontal distance D and vertical component V can be
deduced from the above expression when the line of sight is inclined.
4. (a) What are the dierent linear methods for setting out simple circular curves.

that of the second is 400 m. Find the chainages of the tangent points, and the
point of compound curvature, given that the chainage of point A is 3415 m.
5. (a) What is a transition curve? Why it is used? Dene shift of a curve. Draw
two tangents and show a circular curve and two transition curves connecting
the tangents, marking the shift, on your sketch. [8+8]
