staff readings visible for staff height of 2.5m so distance is 2.5x10 = 25m.

Slope = 1/10.
HI = 1.5m.

Height of staff = 4.0 m.
Sight = (4-1.5)/(1/10) = 25 m.

@Hitesh.

I'm not getting you, explain clearly.

0.25 m is the answer as you discussed here.

I'm not getting the answer explain one again.

Slope 1:10 that means down 1 m for each 10 m distance.

So, 2.5 x 10 = 25 m.

How 2.5 came?

Please tell me what is the different betwn downslope an upslope.

The instrument height of 1.5m, staff height 4m so 4 - 1.5 = 2.5m.

The Hi is 1.5m so when and staff 4m.
The reading will be 2.5m on staff on plane. The slope being 1 in 10.
2.5 * 10 = 25 on down slope.
