The observation were made on the top A of flag AB on a hill from two instrument stations P and Q, 100 m apart the station P and Q being in the line with A . The angles of elevation of A at P and Q were $30^{\circ} 05^{\prime}$ and $17^{0} 52^{\prime}$ respectively, The staff reading upon the BM (RL = 311.29 m) were, respectively , 2.690 and 3.815 when the instrument was at P and Q , the telescope being horizontal. Determine the elevation of the foot B of the flag if AB is 3.5 m.
