Question

The Degree of Accuracy of a traverse having error of closure of 0.5 m and perimeter of 100 m is __________________ (round off to 3 decimal places).

Hint:

The degree of accuracy of a traverse is directly proportional to the error of closure and inversely proportional to the perimeter.

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 0.004

The Degree of Accuracy (DA) of a traverse is given by the formula:
\[ DA = \frac{\text{Error of Closure}}{\text{Perimeter}} \times 100. \] Substituting the given values:
\[ DA = \frac{0.5}{100} \times 100 = 0.5. \] Thus, the Degree of Accuracy is 0.005 when rounded to 3 decimal places.
