Piecewise linear contrast stretch is performed on an 8-bit image. The output (\( BV_{{out}} \)) would be zero for input value \( BV_{{in}} \leq 80 \). The output (\( BV_{{out}} \)) would be 255 for \( BV_{{in}}>120 \). For the remaining input values, \( BV_{{out}} = (2 \times BV_{{in}}) - 20 \). If \( BV_{{in}} = 120 \), then \( BV_{{out}} \) is __________ (Answer in integer).

In levelling between two points P and Q on opposite banks of a river, the level was set up near P, and the staff readings on P and Q were 2.165 m and 3.810 m, respectively. The level was then moved and set up near Q and the respective staff readings on P and Q were 0.910 m and 2.355 m. The true difference of level between P and Q is __________ m (rounded off to 3 decimal places).
