visible?

a) Indirect

b) Reciprocal

c) Unable to do

d) Direct

View Answer

Answer: d

Explanation: Direct ranging is done if both ends of surveying lines are visible. Indirect ranging is done
when both ends are not intervisible.

17. Which of the following is not a method of levelling?

a) Spirit levelling

b) Traverse levelling

c) Barometric levelling

d) Trigonometric levelling

View Answer

Answer: b

Explanation: Three principal methods are used for determining a difference in elevation, namely,
barometric levelling, trigonometric levelling and spirit levelling. Traversing is that type of surveying in
which a number of connected survey lines form the framework.

18. In which of the following type of surveying in the mean surface of the earth is considered as a plane
and the spheroidal shape is neglected?

a) Plane Surveying

b) Geodetic Surveying

c) Hydrographic Surveying

d) Topographic Surveying
View Answer

Answer: a

Explanation: The type of surveying in which the mean surface of the earth is considered as a plane and
the spheroidal shape is neglected is plane surveying.

19. Which of the following doesn’t involve the method of traversing?

a) Plane Table surveying

b) Tacheometric surveying

c) Chain surveying

d) Theodolite surveying

View Answer

Answer: b

Explanation: Depending on the instruments used in determining the relative directions of the traverse
lines. The principal methods adopted are Chain traversing, Compass traversing, Transit tape traversing,
Plane-table traversing. Tacheometric surveying involves a lot of instrumental work rather than ground
work.

20. Which of the following is not a method of plane table surveying?

a) Trisection

b) Intersection

c) Resection

d) Radiation

View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The methods which are adopted in case of plane table surveying involve radiation,
Intersection, resection and traversing, which are used based on the type of output required.

21. While taking Observations for the height and distances, which of the following method of surveying
is used?

a) Plane surveying

b) Geodic surveying

c) Chain surveying

d) Compass surveying

View Answer

Answer: b

Explanation: Geodic surveying is used because it is assumed that the distances between the points
observed are not large so that either the effect of curvature and refraction may be neglected or proper
corrections may be applied linearly.

22. Which of the following type of surveying can be employed in a magnetic area?

a) Compass surveying

b) Traverse surveying

c) Plane table surveying

d) Theodolite surveying

View Answer

Answer: c

Explanation: Other than plane table surveying, remaining methods need a compass for initiating the
work in which it is not possible to access compass in a magnetic area. Plane table surveying can be
employed there as it can be done without usage of compass.

23. Which of the following survey deals with bodies of water for the purpose of navigation, water
supply, harbor works or for the determination of mean sea level?

a) City surveying
b) Cadastral surveying

c) Topographic surveying

d) Hydrographic surveying

View Answer

Answer: d

Explanation: Survey which deals with bodies of water for the purpose of navigation, water supply,
harbor works or for the determination of mean sea level is hydrographic surveying.

24. Determining points of strategic importance are called _______

a) Traverse surveying

b) Military surveying

c) City surveying

d) Topographic surveying

View Answer

Answer: b

Explanation: Determining points of strategic importance is military surveying. City surveying is made in
connection with the construction of streets, water supply systems and sewers.

25. Which of the following is not a natural error in compass surveying?

a) Local attraction due to the proximity of local attraction forces

b) Pivot being bent

c) Magnetic changes in the atmosphere due to clouds and Strom’s

d) Variation in declination

View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Instrumental errors are those which arise due to the faulty adjustment of the instrument
e.g pivot being bent, blunt pivot point, etc. Variation in declination, magnetic changes in the atmosphere
due to clouds and Strom’s etc also comes under natural errors in compass surveying.

26. Which of the following processes has more accuracy in its output?

a) Plane table surveying

b) Chain surveying

c) Compass surveying

d) Total station

View Answer

Answer: d

Explanation: Plane table surveying is a rough process conducted in order to have an idea of the land and
its condition for construction. Due to this, it is not capable of producing accurate output in its recording.

27. Marine surveying is a necessary in case of boat designing.

a) False

b) True

View Answer

Answer: b

Explanation: Marine survey involves certain features which are capable of determining the boat
functioning and its capabilities. The main purpose of marine surveying includes the processing of an
errorless functioning boat, which can be used while underground surveying.

28. Which of the following will not come under the marine surveying category?

a) Water survey

b) Yacht survey

c) Machinery survey

d) Cargo survey
View Answer

Answer: a

Explanation: Marine surveying involves certain classifications which can be given as yacht survey,
machinery survey and cargo survey. All these are under the roof of marine surveying, which done to
improve the benefit of the instrument or object used.

29. Which of the following is having the same principle as that of photo-theodolite?

a) Theodolite surveying

b) Plane-table surveying

c) Traverse surveying

d) Compass surveying

View Answer

Answer: b

Explanation: Photo-theodolite involves the direction of same objects in the photograph by which base is
measured is known and positions are located with extremities. It is the same as that of plane table
surveying which indicates both are having same principle.

30. In which of the following cases the method of deflection distances is used?

a) Land surveys

b) Road survey

c) Town survey

d) Railway planning survey

View Answer

Answer: b

Explanation: The deflection distances method is having at most priority in case of road surveys as the
curvature for joining parallel straights is to be done without any error.
