I. (a) Explain briefly the elements of a simple curve. (10) (b) Two tangents intersect at the chainage of 1190m, the deflection angle being 36. (10)
Calculate all the data necessary for setting out a curve with a radius of300m by deflection angle method. The peg interval is 30m.
OR
II. (a) What is a transition curve? What are its advantages? (8) (b) The following data refers to a right-hand compound curve: (12)
Total deflection angle = 80
Radius of the first arc = 200m
Radius of the second arc = 250m
Chainage of the point of intersection = 1504.80m Deflection angle of the first arc = 50

(ii) Sideral time
(iii) Sun dial
(iv) Standard time
IX. (a) Explain in brief the different methods of sounding. (10) (b) A, B and C are three triangulation stations on a coast line and P is a sounding point (10)
in sea. Distance AB=1250m, BC=1310m,angle ABC 12230', angle
APB 4524' and angle BPC = 48036,. A and C are respectively west and east of BP where as P is south of B. Calculate the distances AP, BP and CP.
OR
X. (a) Write the comparison between Air photograph and Map. (8) (b) A straight length of a highway AB appears to be 12.5cm on a vertical air (12)
photograph of 15cm focal length. The corresponding distance of the highway on a 1:50,000 topographical map is 6.25cm. Assuming the average elevation of the terrain as 1250m above M.S.L, calculate the flying height of the Camera above Mean Sea Level.
