10. What is difference between instrumental methods and linear methods of setting out a curve
PART-B (5X 16 = 80 Marks)
11. a) Classify surveying based on nature of field surveying, based on instruments used, based on object
of survey and write difference between plane and geodetic surveying
(OR)
11.b) i) Explain the conventional signs used in plain surveying with neat sketches ( 10 M)
ii) What is difference between plan and a map ( 6 M)

12. a) i) What is local attraction? How it is detected and eliminated? (8 M)

ii) Explain about errors in compass surveying ( 8 M)

(OR)
12. b) The bearings observed at the stations of a closed traverse are given below. Check
whether the bearings are correct. If not, correct the bearings by the method of included
angles.

13. a) Explain general methods to determine areas

(OR)

13. b) The following consecutive readings were taken with a levelling instrument at intervals of 20m.

2.375, 1.730, 0.615, 3.450, 2.835, 2.070, 1.835, 0.985, 0.435, 1.630, 2.255 and 3.630m

The instrument was shifted after the fourth and eighth readings. The last reading was taken on a BM of
RL 110.200m. Find the RLs of all the points

14. a) What are temporary and permanent adjustments done for a theodolite

(OR)

14. b ) Explain the process of finding horizontal angles

15.a) Explain in detail any three linear methods of setting out a simple curve

(OR)

15. b) Two tangents intersect at a chainage of 1,000 m, the deflection angle being 300. Calculate
all the necessary data for setting out a circular curve of radius 200m by the method of offsets
from the chord produced, taking a peg interval of 20m..
