Question:

In a transit theodolite, the accidental error due to eccentricity of verniers is primarily counteracted by

Show Hint

Remember that taking readings from both sides of the vernier helps to average out the eccentricity error.

  • \( \text{Reading both the verniers} \)
  • \( \text{Reading different parts of main scale} \)
  • \( \text{Reading right and left faces} \)
  • \( \text{Taking both right swing readings} \)

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The accidental error due to the eccentricity of verniers in a transit theodolite is primarily counteracted by reading both the verniers. The eccentricity causes the two verniers to read slightly different values. The mean of the readings from the two verniers tends to compensate for this error.
