Surveying Problems on “Levelling – Degree of Precision”.
1. The degree of precision does not depend upon the type of instrument.
a) true
b) false
Answer: b
Clarification: The degree of precision depends upon the type of instrument, skill of observer, character of country, atmospheric conditions.
2. For a given instrument and atmospheric conditions, the precision depends upon the number of setups.
a) true
b) false
Answer: a
Clarification: For a given instrument and atmospheric conditions, the precision depends upon the number of setups and also upon the length of sights.
3. The precision on plains will be less than that on hills.
a) true
b) false
Answer: b
Clarification: For a given instrument and atmospheric conditions, the precision depends upon the number of setups and also upon the length of sights. Thus, the precision on plains will be less than that on hills.
4. The degree of precision depends upon the skill of an observer.
a) true
b) false
Answer: a
Clarification: The degree of precision depends upon the type of instrument, skill of observer, character of country, atmospheric conditions.
