A hydrographic survey was conducted on a reservoir to determine its capacity by contour method. The depth of water at sounding point P1 was 10.50m and its elevation at the bottom was computed to be 210.30m. A sounding point P2 at a distance of 35.45m from P1 was observed to have a depth of 3.25m and its elevation at the bottom was determined to be 217.55m. If a subaqueous contour is to be drawn between P1 and P2 with a contour interval 0.50m, how many contours that can be drawn? Select the correct response: 9 15 10 17

Question
A hydrographic survey was conducted on a reservoir to determine its capacity by contour method. The depth of water at
sounding point P1 was 10.50m and its elevation at the bottom was computed to be 210.30m. A sounding point P2 at a distance
of 35.45m from P1 was observed to have a depth of 3.25m and its elevation at the bottom was determined to be 217.55m. If a
subaqueous contour is to be drawn between P1 and P2 with a contour interval 0.50m, how many contours that can be drawn?
