35.
The reduced levels of points, 30 metres apart along the longitudinal section of a road portion between chainages 5 and 9 are shown in the given figure. If there is a uniform up-gradient of the road 120 in 1, the chainage of the point with no filling or cutting is
(6 + 15) chains
(6 + 12) chains
(6 + 18) chains
None of these.

How it is calculated?

1 in 120.

So for 30 m there is rise of 0.25 m.

R.L of formation level at 6 chain = 100+0.25 = 100.25.

Now apply the similar triangles as 1/x = 1.5/(30-X).

Where, 1 = 100.25-99.25.

x = 12.

So the answer B.

Can you explain it? Please.

I think it is A.

@Gance.

Where is 1.5 from?

Karthick said:   8 years ago
6+ 12 chain how?

Vishnu said:   8 years ago
Can anyone explain clearly?

Chandra said:   8 years ago
How this will occurs?

@6 difference b/w level is (100.25-99.25)=1.
@7 RL=100.25+0.25=100.5.

So difference= 102-100.5=1.5,
let x be distance at no filling or cutting,
distance b/w 7 and 6 is 30,
By similar triangle,
1 -> x,
1.5 ->30-x.
