12.
While setting a plane table at a station it was found that the error in centering was 30 cm away from the ray of length 40 m drawn from the station. If the scale of the plan is 1 cm = 2 cm, the displacement of the end of the ray in plan from the true position will be
0.02 cm
0.15 cm
02 cm
0.1 cm
Answer: Option

I think the answer should be 0.15 meter not 0.15 centimetre for given data.
30/2 = 15 centimetres.

If the answer is right then the scale of the plan is wrong, it should be 1cm = 2meter.
So answer will be (30/200) = 0.15 centimetres.

The displacement of the end of the ray in the plan from the true position will be representative fraction (RF) ×error.

D = RF×error.

Here scale.
1cm = 2m.
RF =1/200.
D = (1/200) ×30cm.
= 0. 15cm.
