A dumpy level was set up at L1 exactly midway between A and B which are 50m apart. The readings on the staff when held on A and B were respectively 2.40m and 1.40m. The instrument was then shifted and set up-at point L2 on the line AB produced at 10m from A. The readings on the staff held at A and B were respectively 2.5m and 1.40m. Determine the staff readings on A and B to given a horizontal line of sight. Determine the R.L. of B, if that of A is 200.0m.

To find the elevation of the top of a hill, a flag staff of 4m height was erected with its top at Q. Observations were made from two stations M and N, 60m apart and not in line with Q. The angles of elevation to the top of the flag staff from stations M and N were measured as 10°50' and 11°28' respectively. The horizontal angle measured at M between N and the top of the flag staff was 56°30' and the measured at N between M and the top of the flag post was 62°10'.
If the reading on B.M. with an elevation of 400.0m when the instrument was at M and the line of sight was horizontal is 1.785m, determine the elevation of the top of the hill. If the staff readings on the B.M. When the instrument was at N, was 1.794m determine the elevation of the top of the flag hill and compare with the earlier computed value.
