  • Question
  • For transferring the tunnel alignment through shafts, we adopt the following steps :
    1. Hanging two or more plumb lines in the shaft
    2. Determining the bearing of the plumb lines i.e. plumb plane
    3. Suspending a 35 kg weight by each plumb line
    4. Immersing the weights of both the plumb lines in the buckets containing water.
    The correct sequence of steps is :


  • Options
  • A. 1 2 3 4
  • B. 4 3 2 1
  • C. l 3 2 4
  • D. 2 1 4 3

  • Correct Answer
