@Abhijit.

It says on BA produced so it is 10 m away from A.

Abhijitth said:   4 years ago
Do they mean 10m away from A. i.e. the instrument is not lying in between A and B?

Anyone explain.

Initial distance (80m) +new distance near by A9 (i.e10m) = 90m.

What is S? Please explain it.

1.32+1.56=2.88/2=1.44,
1.11+1.39=2.50/2=1.25,
Now 1.44+1.25=2.69/2= 1.345 ans.

Here the sum of 1.39+0.045 is wrong it should be 1.435.

Correct reading is required at B.
