This set of Surveying Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on Surveying Set 3
Q1 | Which of the following errors can be neutralised by setting the level midwaybetween the two stations ?
- error due to curvature only
- error due to refraction only
- error due to both curvature and re-fraction
- none of the above
Q2 | Height of instrument method of levelling is
- more accurate than rise and fall method
- less accurate than rise and fall method
- quicker and less tedious for large number of intermediate sights
- none of the above
Q3 | The rise and fall method
- is less.accurate than height of instrument method
- is not suitable for levelling with tilting levels
- provides a check on the reduction of intermediate point levels
- quicker and less tedious for large number of intermediate sights
Q4 | If the staff is not held vertical at a level¬ling station, the reduced level calculatedfrom the observation would be
- true R.L.
- more than true R.L.
- less than true R.L.
- none of the above
Q5 | The difference between a level line and a horizontal line is that
- level line is a curved line while hori-zontal line is a straight line
- level line is normal to plumb line while horizontal line may not be normal to plumb line at the tangent point to level line
- horizontal line is normal to plumb line while level line may not be normal to the plumb line
- both are same
Q6 | The sensitivity of a bubble tube can be increased by
- increasing the diameter of the tube
- decreasing the length of bubble
- increasing the viscosity of liquid
- decreasing the radius of curvature of tube
Q7 | With the rise of temperature, the sensitivity of a bubble tube
- decreases
- increases
- remains unaffected
- none of the above
Q8 | Refraction correction
- completely eliminates curvature correction
- partially eliminates curvature correction
- adds to the curvature correction
- has no effect on curvature correction
Q9 | The R.L, of the point A which is on the floor is 100 m and back sight reading on A is 2.455 m. If the foresight reading on the point B which is on the ceiling is 2.745 m, the R.L. of point B will be
- 94.80 m
- 99.71 m
- 100.29 m
- 105.20 m
Q10 | As applied to staff readings, the corrections for curvature and refraction are respectively The above table shows a part of a level field book. The value of X should be

Q13 | Which of the following statements is in-correct ?
- Error due to refraction may not be completely eliminated by reciprocal levelling.
- Tilting levels are commonly used for precision work.
- The last reading of levelling is always a foresight.
- All of the above statements are incorrect.
Q14 | Dumpy level is most suitable when
- the instrument is to be shifted frequently
- fly levelling is being done over long distance
- many readings are to be taken from a single setting of the instrument
- all of the above
Q15 | The difference of levels between two stations A and B is to be determined. For best results, the instrument station should be

- closer to the higher station
- closer to the lower station
- as far as possible from the line AB
Q16 | Contour interval is
- inversely proportional to the scale of the map
- directly proportional to the flatness of ground
