Explanation;

Station BS IS FS Remark R.L. H.I.
P 1.265     BM 550.50 551.765
Q     1.415   550.35  
R     1.715   550.05  
S 2.330   2.165 CP 549.6 551.93
T     2.930   549  

where, BS= Back sight, FS=Fore sight, IS=Intermediate Sight, CP= Change Point

R.L= Reduced Level, H.I= Height of Instrument

\(\textbf{H.I. at P:} \\ H.I. = R.L. + BS \\ H.I. \text{ at P} = 550.50 + 1.265 = 551.765 \)

\(\textbf{R.L. of Q:} \\ R.L. = H.I. - FS \\ R.L. \text{ of Q} = 551.765 - 1.415 = 550.35\)

\(R.L.\ of\ R = 551.765 - 1.715 = 550.05 \\ R.L.\ of\ S = 551.765 - 2.165 = 549.6 \\ H.I.\ at\ S: \\ H.I.\ at\ S = R.L. + BS \\ H.I.\ at\ S = 549.6 + 2.330 = 551.93 \\ R.L.\ of\ T = 551.93 - 2.930 = 549 \)

Elevation Comparison: Point P is at a higher elevation than point R.
