Reciprocal levelling is done to test a dumpy level, along a chain line, at a common interval of 25m, starting at 125 m. The following records have been observed with the instrument shifts at distances of 200 m and 300 m: 3.200, 2.135, 1.265, 0.535, 3.105, 2.450, 1.535, 1.185, 1.755, 1.215, 2.145, 3.015 m Calculate the reduced levels at all the points and check for mathematical errors, assuming RL = 97.535 m is the benchmark reading at the first station. Use a) the rise and fall method, and b) the height of the collimation method.
