Sight = (4-1. 5) / (1/10).
= 35m.
Since sight is 35m the sight on the up slope should be less than 45m So, option C is the correct.
= 35m.
Since sight is 35m the sight on the up slope should be less than 45m So, option C is the correct.

Instrument height is 1/2.
Then 4+0.5=4.5.
4.5*10=45
Then 4+0.5=4.5.
4.5*10=45

Grading is 1:10 which is upwards and instrument height is 1.5m so 1.5*10=15m, ie only horizontal 15m is possible for zero staff reading.
And the Answer must be 15m.
And the Answer must be 15m.

4-1.5 = 2.5 m reading reading.
And slope is 1/10,
Then the sight on the slope is 2.5 * 10=25m,
According to the question, 45 is the correct answer.
