A transit is set up at a point B which is between A and C. The vertical angle observed towards A is known to be -20° and that of Cis +12'. The horizontal distance between A and B is 642.80m and that of B and C is 1032.40m. The height of instrument is 1.5m above B with A having an elevation of 146m. Considering the effect of curvature and refraction correction. A. Compute the difference in elevation in meter between A and C.
