  1. In a catchment, there are four rain – gauge stations, P,Q,R, and S. Normal annual precipitation values at these stations are 780 mm, 850 mm, 920 mm, and 980 mm, respectively. In the year 2013, stations Q,R, and S, were operative but P was not. Using the normal ratio method, the precipitation at station P for the year 2013 has been estimated as 860 mm. If the observed precipitation at stations Q and R for the year 2013 were 930 mm and 1010 mm, respectively, what was the observed precipitation (in mm) at station S for that year?
    1. 1256.20 mm
    2. 1076.20 mm
    3. 982 mm
    4. 1000 mm
