one end of the chain 0.9 m off the line
one end of chain 0.9 m higher than the other
middle of the chain 0.45 m off the line
all the above.

Slope Correction or error = h^2/2L.

Now we want to find the difference in height of chain ends for which 1 in 1000 or 20 mm in 20 m chain length will produce.

0.02 = h^2/(2 x 20),
h = 0.9 m,
So, option B along with A, C options is correct.

Can you explain how you got 0.89 @Sudip.

NAMAN soni said:   4 years ago
Please explain the given solution.

Sudip said:   5 years ago
Slope error= 20mm = h^2/2L.
Then, h=0.89m~0.9m.
i.e. one end is 0.9m higher/lower than another end.

Please give an explanation clearly.

Answer should be A.

1 in 1000 means 1000 m = 1m.
then 20 m = 1/1000* 20=20mm.
