Q1: The included angles of a theodolite traverse, are generally measured

ANS:D - clockwise from the back station.

The included angles of a theodolite traverse are generally measured anti-clockwise from the forward station. In a theodolite traverse, surveyors typically start from a known point called the forward station and proceed to measure angles to subsequent stations in an anti-clockwise direction. This convention allows for consistency and clarity in recording and calculating the angles during the surveying process. As such, the angles are measured in a continuous sequence from the forward station to subsequent stations in an anti-clockwise direction around the traverse loop.
