these are cumulative and which are compensating. (8)
Or
(b) A survey line ABC crossing a river at right angles cuts its banks at B
om
and C. To determine the width BC of the river, the following
4
operation was carried out.
.c
A point E was established on the perpendicular BE such that angle
CEF is a right angle where F is a point on the survey line. If the
ew
chainage of F and B are respectively 1200 m and 1320m, and the
distance EB is 90 m, calculate the width of the river and also the
en
chainage of C. 2a1bth (16)

(b) (i) The offsets taken at 5 m intervals from a chain line to a curved
boundary are: 0, 4.6, 6.5, 6.8, 5.2, 3.5, 2.2 metres. Calculate the
area between the chain line, the curved boundary line and the
end offsets using Simpson’s rule. (8)
