Solution

The correct option is C I-True, II-True
Cross-staffs are of following types:
(i) Open cross-staff:
It is used for
* Finding the foot of a perpendicular offset.
* Setting out a right angle at a point of the chain line.
(ii) French cross-staff
It is used for setting out right angles,
* It has the advantages that the lines can also be set out at angles of 45o and 135o. In that respect, a french cross-staff is superior to an open cross staff.
(ii) Adjustable cross-staff
It is used to take off sets and to set out any desired angle from the chain line.
