Q: The process of establishing intermediate points on a survey line joining two stations in the field, so that stations can be located accurately is known as :
  • A. leveling
  • B. traversing
  • C. ranging
  • D. interpolating
Correct Answer: Option C - Ranging- When the distance to be measured with the chain between the two stations, is less than chain length and the end are are visible but when the distance is too long and ends are not inter-visible due to intervening ground obstruction, etc. a number of intermediate points are established with the help of ranging rods.The process of establishing intermediate points on a survey line joining two stations in the field so that the length between the station may measured is known as ranging.
