The horizontal disclosure is:
 +06 sec
 +06 min
 -04 sec
 -06 min
 -06 min 04 sec
2. The horizontal angles about point P were measured and
recorded as follows:
𝜃1 = 17°30′10′′
𝜃2 = 22°18′02′′
𝜃3 = 87°43’33’’
𝜃4 = 103°10’24’’
𝜃5 = 48°50’44’’

 4. A vertical angle is measured to a signal mounted on a top of a
tower. With the transit telescope in direct position the reading
on the circle is +22°32". If the reading on the circle is +22°38"
with the telescope in reversed position, the index error and the
index correction, respectively, are:
 -06’ and +06’
 -03’ and +03’
 +06’ and -06’
 +03’ and -03’
 -03’ and -03’
5. A vertical angle measured by a single observation with a transit
is recorded as −13°56. If the index error is 04 min, the correct
value of the angle is:
 −13°52′
 −13°58′
 −13°54′
 −13°56′
 −14°0′
6. A 30-sec transit was used to measure a horizontal angle by
repetition ten times. If the first reading was 125°35′30" and the
final value was 175°57min, the average value of the measure
angle is:
 125°35′36′′
 125°35′42′′
 125°36′
 125°35′10′′
 125°35′15′′
7. Angle Omega was measured with a transit four times with
telescope direct and four times with telescope reversed starting
with an initial backsight setting of 0°05′. If after the first and
eight measurements the readings on the horizontal scale were
89°56′ and 359°57′, respectively, the average measure value of
Omega is:
 89°59′
 90°
 89°58’
 90°15’
 89°59′ 30"

 8. A horizontal angle was measured by repetition six times with an
engineer’s transit. Prior to measurement, the horizontal scale
was at 0 and the reading on the scale was 84°38’ after the angle
was measured once. If the final reading was 147°42min, the
average value of the angle measured is:
 84°37′
 84°38′
 84°35′
 84°39′
 84°36′
9. The purpose of the adjustment of the standards of an engineer’s
transit is to make the:
 Axis of the telescope level parallel to the line of sight
 Axis of the telescope bubble tube parallel to the line of
sight
 Line of sight perpendicular to the horizontal axis of the
telescope
 Horizontal axis of the instrument perpendicular to its
vertical axis
 Axis of each plate bubble lie in a plane perpendicular to
the vertical axis of the instrument
10. To level the theodolite, the plane bubble is placed parallel to
two of the tree leveling screws and the bubble is brought to the
center by manipulating these two screws. The instrument is
then rotated 90° and the bubble is again centered:
 By using the same two screws
 But this time using only the third screw
 But this time using only one of the tripod legs
 By means of the tribrach
 By means of the telescoping plumbing rod
11. A vernier is a small graduated mechanical device attached and
made to slide along linear or circular scales in order to:
 Avoid parallax when reading the horizontal circle
 Project the center of the instrument over the point on
which it is set up
 Increase to a higher degree of accuracy the readings
obtained in such scales
 Reduce the effects of friction and magnetism
 Read forward or back bearings conveniently

 12. The double vernier, of a transit consists of two parts – a
vernier on the left and another identical vernier on the right.
Each one is graduated and runs in an opposite direction from
the common index point. The vernier on the left is used when
reading:
 Counterclockwise circle graduations
 Azimuths reckoned from south
 Clockwise circle graduations
 Either clockwise or counterclockwise circle graduations
 Directions measured from the north branch of the
meridian
13. In a directional theodolite the horizontal circle remains fixed
during a series of observations. The telescope is sighted on
each of the points and:
 Directions rather than angles to these points are read
on the circle
 Angles rather than directions are read on the circle
 Bearings are read on the circle
 A horizontal angle is measured as many times by
dividing values successively on the graduated circle
 Horizontal angles are measured by repitition
14. The process of measuring the horizontal angles about a point is
termed:
 Transiting
 Indexing
 Double centering
 Double sighting
 Closing the horizon
