UNIT-I
1. a) What is meant by ranging in chain surveying 2

be ranged if both the stations are visible from intermediate
points 10

by field observations 6
b) The vertical angles to vanes fixed at 0.5 m and 3.5 m above the
foot of the staff held vertically at a point were 1030 and 2030
respectively. Find the horizontal distance and the reduced level of
the point, if the level of the instrument axis is 125.380m above the
datum 6

10. Two tangents intersect at a point B of chainage 380.000 m. The
deflection angle being 360. Calculate all the data necessary for setting
out a simple circular curve with a radius of 300m by Rankine’s method
of deflection angles. Consider the peg interval as 30m. Also prepae the
setting out table, if the least count of the theodolite is 20 seconds 12
