Question

Chaining along a straight line, the leader of the party has 4 arrows in his hand while the follower has 6 arrows. Distance of the follower from the starting point is:

• A. \(4 \text{ Chains} \)
• B. \(5\text{ Chains} \)
• C. \(6 \text{ Chains} \)
• D. \(10 \text{ Chains} \)

Hint:

In chaining surveys, the number of arrows in the follower’s hand represents the distance measured in chains.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the concept of chaining. In a survey, chaining involves measuring distances using arrows placed at fixed intervals.
Step 2: Applying the given conditions: - The leader has 4 arrows in his hand, meaning he has already laid out some chains. - The follower has 6 arrows, indicating these have been used to measure the distance from the starting point.
Step 3: Conclusion Since each arrow represents one chain of distance, the follower is 6 chains away from the starting point.
