📋 Preview All 15 Mock Test Questions
Q1. What is the primary objective of surveying in soil conservation engineering?
- To measure soil moisture content accurately
- To determine the relative positions of points on or near the earth's surface
- To analyze chemical properties of soil samples
- To design irrigation systems for agricultural fields
Q2. What is the primary purpose of using a compass in surveying?
- To measure horizontal distances between points
- To determine the magnetic bearings of survey lines
- To measure vertical angles for levelling
- To calculate the area of a survey plot
Q3. During compass surveying, a surveyor notices that the magnetic needle does not point exactly to the magnetic north but is deflected by a certain angle. What is this phenomenon called?
- Magnetic declination
- Local attraction
- Magnetic dip
- Variation
Q4. A survey line has a fore bearing of 70°. What is the back bearing of this line?
- 250°
- 110°
- 70°
- 290°
Q5. If a surveyor measures the horizontal distance between two points as 150 meters and the vertical difference in elevation as 10 meters, what is the slope between these points? (Slope = vertical difference / horizontal distance)
- 0.067
- 15
- 140
- 1.5
Q6. An assistant engineer is tasked with planning a survey to map the contours and elevation changes of a hilly terrain for soil conservation planning. Which survey type should be selected and why?
- Cadastral Survey, to define land ownership for conservation zones.
- Topographic Survey, to capture elevation and terrain features.
- Hydrographic Survey, to measure water bodies affecting the terrain.
- Geological Survey, to analyze soil types and rock formations.
Q7. In a scenario where you need to establish a horizontal plane for construction, which surveying instrument would you select and why?
- Theodolite, because it measures angles precisely
- Leveling Instrument, because it helps determine elevation differences
- Tachometer, because it measures distances quickly
- Compass, because it shows direction
Q8. Compare chain surveying with compass surveying in terms of their suitability for rough terrain.
- Chain surveying is more suitable because it requires less equipment
- Compass surveying is more suitable because it can measure directions without clear linear paths
- Both are equally suitable for rough terrain
- Neither is suitable for rough terrain
Q9. Which surveying instrument is primarily used to measure horizontal and vertical angles accurately in the field?
- Theodolite
- Leveling Instrument
- Chain
- Plumb Bob
Q10. Which of the following best defines surveying in the context of soil conservation?
- The process of collecting soil samples for laboratory testing
- The science of determining the relative positions of points and the distances and angles between them on the earth's surface
- The method of planting vegetation to prevent soil erosion
- The technique of measuring rainfall intensity over a watershed
Q11. Which type of survey is primarily used to establish the boundaries and ownership of land parcels?
- Topographic Survey
- Cadastral Survey
- Geological Survey
- Hydrographic Survey
Q12. Which of the following instruments is essential for establishing the true north direction during a surveying operation?
- Prismatic Compass
- Plane Table
- Dumpy Level
- Chain
Q13. A soil conservation engineer needs to map a hilly terrain to plan contour bunding. Which objective of surveying is most relevant in this scenario?
- Establishing the chemical composition of soil
- Determining the elevation and slope of the terrain
- Measuring soil moisture content
- Estimating crop yield potential
Q14. {{IMAGE_PLACEHOLDER}}In the given compass survey traverse, the fore bearing of line AB is 45°, and the back bearing of line BC is 225°. If the magnetic declination is 5° east, what is the true bearing of line AB?
- 40°
- 50°
- 230°
- 220°
Q15. In chain surveying, why is it important to select well-defined and intervisible stations?
- To ensure accurate measurement of vertical angles
- To facilitate easy chaining and correct plotting of the survey
- To reduce the need for levelling instruments
- To avoid the use of offsets during the survey
