Q3 | An angle made by a survey line with the prolongation of the proceeding line, is known as
Q4 | The bearing observed with a prismatic compass is
Q5 | Due to the magnetic influence of the earth, the magnetic needle of the prismatic compass will be inclined downward towards the pole. This inclination of the needle with the horizontal is known as
Q6 | The real image of an object formed by the objective must lie at the centre of telescope.
Q7 | The direction of a true meridian at a station is invariable.
Q8 | In a whole circle bearing system N 25? 15' W corresponds to
