Surveying and Levelling

Subtopic: Types of levelling

Question Statement:

A backsight of $1.550\text{ m}$ is taken on a benchmark of Reduced Level ($RL$) $100.000\text{ m}$. The foresight taken on a point $P$ is $2.150\text{ m}$. The Reduced Level of point $P$ in meters is ________ (round off to 3 decimal places).

Answer Key:

99.4

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

1. Height of Instrument ($HI$): $HI = RL_{\text{BM}} + BS = 100.000 + 1.550 = 101.550\text{ m}$ 2. Reduced level of point $P$: $RL_P = HI - FS = 101.550 - 2.150 = 99.400\text{ m}$
