1. The local mean lime at a place located in longitude 90 40' E when
the standard time is 6 hours and 30 minutes and the standard
meridian is 82° 30' E is
Ans:
a) Geodetic surveying
b) Plane surveying
c) Preliminary surveying
d) Topographical surveying
Ans: Geodetic surveying
a) 7 hr 00 m

Ans:
a) 1: 24000
b) 1: 62500
c) 1: 100000
d) 1: 500000
Ans:
Large scale maps are better for showing individual buildings in
detail because they only cover a small area of land. So 1:
24000 is largest scale.
a) 1/3 hr
b) 1/3
c) 1/20
d) 200 sec
Ans:
1 degree = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 sec.
So 20 minutes =
6. You need to find the scale of a map have been given for a class
project. In order to do so, you decide to measure a distance
between two real world features and relate that to the distance
shown on the map. You find that the distance between two
buildings is 400 feet. On the map that same distance is 3 inches.
What is the scale of the map?
a) 1: 1200
b) 1: 16000
c) 1: 1600
d) 1: 100
Ans:
3 inches : 400 feet
3 inches : inches
1: 1600

a) A cartogram
b) Equal area
c) Proportional symbol
d) Topographic
Ans:
A cartogram is a map in which some thematic mapping
variable – such as travel time, population is substituted for
land area or distance. The geometry or space of the map is
distorted in order to convey the information of this alternate
variable. There are two main types of cartograms: area and
distance cartograms
a) 33 miles
b) 50 miles
c) 69 miles
d) 111 miles
Ans:
Radius of earth= 6370 km = 6370 / 1.609 = 3960 miles
Perimeter = 3960 = 24875 miles
Distance for 360 degrees = 24875 miles
Distance for 1 degree = 24875/360 = 69 miles.
10. A half circle of 180 degrees of arc which connects the earth's poles
is known as a:
a) Latitude
b) Meridian
c) Longitude
d) Parallel
Ans: Meridian
a) Latitude
b) Longitude
c) Parallel
d) Meridian
Ans: Latitude

13. General purpose maps that depict the shape and elevation of
terrain, and usually portray the surface features of relatively small
areas, are known as:
a) Topographic maps
b) Thematic maps
c) Mercator maps
d) Value-by-area maps
14. Which type of map projection shows true directions from one
central point to all other points?
a) Equivalent
b) Conformal
c) Equidistant
d) Azimuthal

SUB: SURVEYING MODULE-94C
Ans. Azimuthal
16. The Prime Meridian runs through the Royal Observatory at:
17. If a map is called conformal, then it is correct for areas in terms of:
a) Area
b) Shape
c) Distance
d) Direction
Ans: Shape.
Conformal maps preserve both angles and the shapes of
infinitesimally small figures, but not necessarily their size or
curvature.
