Q4:B) A 20 m chain was found to be 10 cm too long after chaining a distance of 1500 m. It was found to be 18
cm too long at the end of day's work after chaining a total distance of 2900 m. Find the true distance if the chain
was correct before the commencement of the work.
(10 Marks)

Q5:A) Calculate the distance between two inaccessible points P

and Q, the theodolite is setup at two stations A and B 1000 m apart,
and the following angles were observed.
(10 Marks)

Q5:B) A new road is to be construced with formation width of 20m, side slopes of 1 vertical to 2.5 horizontal.
The heights of fill at the center line of three successive cross-sections, 50m aprt, are 3.3m, 4.1m, and 4.9m,
respectively. The existing ground has a cross-fall of 1 in 10. Calculate the volume by end area method.

Q6) A tract of land has three straight boundaries AB, BC, and CD. The fourth boundary DA is irregular. The
measured lengths are as under; AB = 135m, BC = 191m, CD = 126m, BD= 255m. The offsets measured outside
the boundary DA to the irregular boundary at a regular interval of 30 m from D, are as below;
