Surveying - Engineering

Q1:

The distances AC and BC are measured from two fixed points A and B whose distance AB is known. The point C is plotted by intersection. This method is generally adopted in

A chain surveying

B traverse method of surveys

C triangulation

D none of these.

ANS:A - chain surveying

he method described, where distances AC and BC are measured from fixed points A and B to determine the location of point C by intersection, is not typically associated with chain surveying. In chain surveying, distances are typically measured using a chain or a tape, and the surveying process involves measuring distances and angles to determine the positions of various points in the survey area. However, the method described in the question, involving fixed points A and B to locate point C by intersection, is more aligned with the principles of traverse surveying rather than chain surveying.
