Slope correction is always subtracitve.

Here is the relation b/w - error & correction.
CORRECTION = -(ERROR).
CORRECTION = -(ERROR).

In this question, they are asking for error not correction so.
Correction is always negative.
But the error is positive.
That' s why the answer is +11.
As it is a systematic error not random error so it can be called cumulative error.

The systematic error means?

Slope correction must be always negative. So, option C will be correct.

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

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 nagetive. So error due to slope is positive.

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).

Now we know that given sloping distance is 15meter and difference in elevation is 1.8 meter.
That means we know the slope i.e. H:V = 15 : 1.8.
but slope gives us value of horizontal distance per unit error. We want 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.
