Two decimal places only.']

A horizontal collimation test is
performed on an automatic Level
following the prescribed standard
procedure. With the instrument at point
A, the reading of the rod at A was
1.870 meters and to B was 1.970
meters. After moving and leveling the
instrument at B, the rod reading at B
and A was found to be 1.850 and 1.770
respectively. What is the collimation
error (measured in meters, up to two
decimal places) of the instrument?
