349. For a, sight inclined at θ° with the horizontal and the staff held normal to the
line of sight, the staff intercept is S. The horizontal distance D between the
tacheometer attached with an anallatic

350. Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the codes given
below the Lists
351. Given that for a triangulation survey
D = distance in km
h = the visible horizon from a station of known elevation above the datum (in
metres)
If there is no obstruction due to intervening ground, then h is equal to
0.0673 D²
352. For solving a right-angled astronomical triangle ZPS, right-angled at S. the parts
of the Napter circle are to be filled up by the following elements:
1. The sides PS and ZS
2. Complement of the angle SZP.
3. Complement of the side ZP
4. Complement of the angle ZPS
The correct sequence of filling up these
elements is
353A. Star at elongation-When it is at its greatest distance eas or west of meridian B. Star at prime vertical-The astronomical triangle is evidently right-angled at zenith C. Star at horizon-Its altitude will be zero and zenith distance will be equal to 90° D. Star at culmination-When it crosses the observer's meridian
354. The latitude and longitude of point M is 30° N and 15° W. The latitude and
longitude of point N is 20° S and 25° E. MN will be given by

355.A.Principal point-The point where a perpendicular dropped from the front nodal point strikes the photograph B. Isocentre-The point at which the bisector of the angle of tilt meets the photographer C. Crab-The angle formed between the flight line and the edges of photograph in the direction of flight D. Drift-Failure of the aeroplane to stay on the predetermined flight line
