Question

What is the number of fore bearing and back bearing for an open traverse of n number of stations?

• A. n - 1, n - 1
• B. n, n
• C. n + 1, n + 1
• D. 2n - 1, 2n - 1

Answer 1

The correct option is A n - 1, n - 1

Consider A B C D E F be open traverse

Total Number of stations = 6(A, B, C, D, E, F)

Station	Fore bearing of Lineback	Back bearing of Line
A	AB	-
B	BC	BA
C	CD	CB
D	DE	DC
E	EF	ED
F	-	FE
6 Station	5 Fore bearing	5 Back Bearing

For n number of stations, the fore bearing is "n - 1" and the back bearing is "n - 1".
