5. The plan of survey plotted to a scale of 10m to 1cm is reduced in

such a way that a line originally 10cm long now measure 9cm. the
area of the reduced plan is measured as 81 . The actual ( )
area of the survey is

a) 10000 b) 6561
c) 1000 d) 1656
Ans:

( )

6. The plan of a map was photo copied to a reduced size such that a
line originally 100mm, measures 90mm. the original scale of the
plan was 1:1000. The revised scale is

a) 1:900 b) 1:1111
c) 1:1121 d) 1:1221
Ans:
Originally 1 mm in plan = 1000 mm actual
100mm in plan=1000100mm
Now 90mm in plane =1000100mm
1mm=1000

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)
Ans:

Magnetic bearing

True bearing

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 b)
c) d)
Ans:

Local attraction error=

Correction=
Corrected bearing =185-1.5=
True bearing =183.5+3.5=

9. In the fig the length PQ(WCB: ) and QR(WCB: )

respectively up to three places of decimal are
N R(1000N, 1000E)
Q

P(100 N, 200 E) E
a) 273.205,938.186
b) 273.205, 551.815
c) 551.815, 551.875
d) 551.815,938.186

Ans:

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.

a) b)
c) d)
Ans:
Surveyor used the scale 100m to 1cm
Distance between station on map =3500/100=35cm
As the actual scale of map is 50m to 1cm
True distance on the ground =3550=1750m

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.

a) b)
c) d)
Ans:

125.5 was originally ( )

Scale: 1 cm =40 m
Area on ground =132.0184
