Question

The method employed for locating the position of a plane table station on a drawing sheet is:

• A. {Radiation}
• B. {Intersection}
• C. {Orientation}
• D. {Resection}

Hint:

Resection is used when the plane table’s position is unknown and needs to be determined.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: In plane table surveying, resection is used to determine the unknown position of the plane table by taking bearings from two or more known points. Step 2: Comparison of methods: - Radiation: Used for plotting objects from a known station. - Intersection: Determines a point using two known stations. - Orientation: Aligns the table to an earlier plotted position. Thus, the correct answer is (D) Resection.
