Now we know that the given sloping distance is 15 meters and the elevation difference is 1.8 meters.
That means we know the slope i.e. H: V = 15 : 1.8.
But slope gives us the value of horizontal distance per unit error. We want an error per unit horizontal distance here means 1.8 : 15.
That gives us 0.12 which is cumulative of course due to slope. Hence it will be +0.12 cumulative or corrected for +0.11 cumulative.

Slope correction = h^2/2L = 1.8^2/(2*15) = 0.108~0.11.
Slope error is always + ive slope correction is always -ive.
So, Cumulative Error.
Slope error is always + ive slope correction is always -ive.
So, Cumulative Error.

15- √(15^2-1.8^2) = 0.108 = .11.
AND we know slope correction is always negative so the error is positive 0.11.
Option A is correct.
AND we know slope correction is always negative so the error is positive 0.11.
Option A is correct.

By Pythagoras Theorem, the ground distance is 15.10 and slope distance is 15m.
Since Error = Measured value - True Value, and here Measured value is lesser that is 15m, we get the error as -ve.
Hence correction +ve. Therefore, I agree with Option (A).

Slope correction is always nagetive. So error due to slope is positive.

Error is positive.
And here we have to find an error. Therefore positive cumulative.
And here we have to find an error. Therefore positive cumulative.

Slope correction is always subtracted from slope distance. So correct answer is C.
