Triangulation station which is selected close to the main station for avoiding intervening obstruction is called
- AEccentric station
- BPivot station
- CSatellite stationCorrect
- DTie station
Solution
Concept
Satellite station
Step-by-step solution
1. A station close to a main station, set up when the main station is not visible from other stations, is a satellite station. 2. Observations are made at the satellite and then reduced to the centre.
Explanation
A satellite (false) station is established near a main triangulation station because of an obstruction. Angles measured at it are corrected for eccentricity (reduction to centre).
Shortcut
Obstruction near the main station → satellite station.
Common mistake
Choosing eccentric station.
Correct answer: C) Satellite station
