7. The magnetic bearing of a line AB is

and the declination is West.
The true bearing of the line AB is
a)

b)

c)

d)

8. The observed magnetic bearing of a

line OE was found to be
. It was
later discovered that station O had a
local attraction of +1. . The true
bearing of the line OE, considering a
magnetic, a magnetic declination of
shall be
a) 1
c)

11. An old map was plotted to a scale of

40m to 1cm. over the years, this map
has been shrinking, and a line
originally 20cm long is only 19.5cm
long at present. Again 20m chain was
5cm too long. If the present area of the
map measured by plain meter is
125.50
find the true area of the
land.

and QR(WCB:
) respectively up to
three places of decimal are

273.205, 551.815
551.815, 551.875
551.815,938.186

10. On a map drawn to a 50m to 1cm, a

surveyor measured the distance
between two stations as 3500m. but it
was found that by mistake he had used
a scale of 100m to 1cm. find the true
distance between the stations.
