Question

Reciprocal levelling is done to test a dumpy level, along a chain line, at a common interval of 15m, starting at 135 m. The following records have been observed with the instrument shifts at distances of 180 m and 240 m: 3.400, 2.315, 1.350, 0.755, 3.305, 2.880, 1.745, 1.470, 1.910, 1.355, 2.450 and 3.035 m Calculate the reduced levels at all the points and check for mathematical errors, assuming RL = 97.935 m is the bench mark reading at the first station. Use both a) the rise and fall method, and b) the height of collimation method.
