Calculations:
Given,
Height of instrument (HI) = 1.5 m.
Length of staff = 4 m.
Ground slope (downslope) = 1/10.
x = 25 m.

TanQ= (4-1.5)/x = 1/10 = 2.5/x.
= 25m.
= 25m.

Solution;
Note: Here in Q it is not 1 1/2 actually it is only 1/2 so,
if upward slope asked then i.e +ve.
Sight= (Staff ht + instrument ht.)/(Slope)
Sight=(4+1/2)(1/10)
Sight=(4.5)*(10)
Sight=45 m.
And It will be 55 m in case if 1 1/2 only.

Slope = 1/10,
H.I = 1/2 = 0.5,
Sight = (0.5 + 4)/1 ÷ 10 = 45.
H.I = 1/2 = 0.5,
Sight = (0.5 + 4)/1 ÷ 10 = 45.
