Question

A surveyor used a total station to complete a six-sided field traverse that was intended to serve as the control for a boundary and topographic survey of the project site. The control survey had to meet at least 2nd order accuracy. Before returning to the office, the surveyor checked the angular misclosure and found it to be 1 degree 00'06". The next step should be to a) Locate the blunder and/or repeat the angles at one or more stations b) Adjust the angles equally to mathematically close the traverse c) Use the compass rule to adjust both angles and distances d) Adjust angles by the least squares method because it is more rigorous

Explanation / Answer

Ans- option B is correct I.e. adjust the angles equally to mathematically close the traverse.
