Surveying miscellaneous

  1. Two Pegs A and B were fixed on opposite banks of a 50 m wide river. The level was set up at A and the staff readings on Pegs A and B were observed as 1.350 m and 1.550 m, respectively. Thereafter the instrument was shifted and set up at B. The staff readings on Pegs B and A were observed as 0.750 m and 0.550 m, respectively. If the R.L. of Peg A is 100.200 m, the R.L. (in m) of Peg B is ______ .
    1. 17
    2. 40
    3. 100
    4. 85
Correct Option: C

Thus is reciprocal levelling

∆h =
(b1 - a1) + (b2 - a2)
2

∆h =
(1.55 - 1.35) + (10.75 - 0.55)
= 0.20
2

RL at B = RL at A – ∆h = 100.200 – 0.20 = 100
