5. A closed-loop traverse ABCDA was run around an area and the following
Observations were made:

Adjust the angular error, if any, and calculate the coordinates of other stations if the coordinates
of the station A are E1000 m and N1000 m.

6. An angle was measured six times by different observers and the following values
were obtained:
42°25′10″(2), 42°25′08″(1), 42°25′09″(3), 42°25′07″(2), 42°25′11″(3), 42°25′09″(2).
The values given in the parentheses are the weights of the observations. Determine the most
probable value of the angle using least squares.

7. Adjust the following angles of a triangle ABC by the method of correlates.

∠A = 86°35′11.1″1 = 2
∠B = 42°15′17.0″2 = 1
∠C = 51°09′34.0″3 = 3

8. A -1% grade meets a +2% grade at a station C whose chainage is 1550m and elevation is 555.555m. A vertical
curve of length 100m is required to be introduced with pegs at 10m intervals. Calculate the elevations of the points
on the curve by tangent corrections and tabulate the results.

9. a) A vertical photograph was taken from a height of 3200m above the mean sea level with a camera of focal
length 120mm. It contained two points ‘a’ and ‘b’ corresponding to the ground points A and B .Calculate the
horizontal length A and B, as well as the average scale along the line ‘b’.
b) Two tangents intersect at chainage 1190m, the deflection angle being 36°. Calculate all the data necessary for
setting out a curve with a radius of 300m by deflection angle method. The peg interval is 30m.

10. To determine the elevations of the top of chimney the following observations were made

Station Reading on Angle of

B.M. Elevation
P 2.870 28o 42’
Q 3.750 18o 06’
The top of the chimney and the station P and Q are in the same vertical plane. The distance between P and Q is
100m. if the R.L. of the BM is 100.00. Determine the elevation of the top of chimney.
