Q1. The survey carried out to delineate natural features, such as hills, rivers, forests and manmade
features, such as towns, villages, buildings, roads, transmission lines and canals is
classified as
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
Topographic survey is carried out to delineate natural features.
Q2. The chainage of the intersection point of two straights is 1585.60 m and the angle of
intersection is 140o . If the radius of a circular curve is 600.00 m, the tangent distance (in m)
and length of the curve (in m), respectively are
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
Length of curve, L = (π/180)× ∆×R
= (π/180)×40×600 = 418.88m
Tangent distance, T = R tan(∆/2)
= 600tan(40/2) = 218.38m
Q3. The latitude and departure of a line AB are +78m and −45.1m respectively. The
whole circle bearing of the line AB is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
Since the latitude of line is positive and departure is negative, the line lies in
Fourth quadrant.
l cos θ = 78; l sin θ = -45.1
tanθ = -0.578
θ = -30o
WCB of AB = 360o-30o = 330o
Q4. As per IS 800: 2007 the cross-section in which extreme fibre can reach the yield
stress but cannot develop the plastic moment of resistance due to local buckling
is classified as
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
As per clause 3.7.2 of IS 800:2007
Q5. Bearing of the given system is shown below:
Applying correction due to local attraction, the correct bearing of line BC will be
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
The difference between back bearing and fore bearing of line DE
= 258o 30' -78o 30' = 180o
∴ Station D and E are free from local attraction
Fore bearing of line o EA = 212o 30'
∴Correct back bearing of line EA = 216o 30' - 180o = 36o 30'
Error at A = 31o 45' - 36o 30' = -4o 45'; Hence correction at A = +4o 45'
Correct fore bearing of line AB = 126o 45' + 4o 45' = 131o 30'
Correct back bearing of AB = 131o 30 + 180o = 311o 30'
Error at B = -3o 30'; Correction at B = +3o 30'
Hence correct bearing of BC = 45o 15' + 3o 30' = 48o 45'
Q6. The local mean time at a place located in longitude 90o 40' E when the standard
time is 6 hours and 30 minutes and the standard meridian is 82o 30' E is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
Q7. A bench mark has been established at the soffit of an ornamental arch at the
known elevation of 100.0 m above mean sea level. The back sight used to establish
height of instrument is a inverted staffreading of 2.105 m. A forward sight reading
with normally held staff of 1.105 m is taken on a recently constructed plinth. The
elevation of the plinth is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
Q8. Curvature correction to a staff reading in a differential leveling survey is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
Q9. In quadrantal bearing system, bearing of a line varies from
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
Q10. The magnetic bearing of a line AB was N 59o 30' W in the year 1967, when the
declination was 4o 10' E. If the present declination is 3o W, the whole circle
bearing of the line is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
