(2) Attempt any four from the remaining questions.
(3) Assume data wherever required.
(4) Figures to the right indicate full marks.
1 (a) Following staff readings were taken on an uneven ground with a 4 m leveling staff. Calculate reduced levels of the points by height of instrument method and apply usual checks. The instrument was shifted after 3rd, 6th and 9th readings. The first reading was taken on a bench mark of 100 m. 1.20, 2.65, 3.50, 2.40, 1.95, 0.90, 1.80, 3.70, 2.50, 0.85, 1.70.(7 marks) 1 (b) Discuss the characteristics of contour with suitable sketches.(7 marks) 2 (a) Following bearings were observed in a closed traver se, determine the included angles.
