Question: A surveyor's cut stake is marked 'C 0.65' for a road sub-grade. If the top of the stake is 0.20 m above the current ground, what is the actual depth from the top of the stake to the required sub-grade elevation?

Answer options:

  • 0.45 m ✅ 0.85 m
  • 0.65 m
  • 0.20 m

Correct answer: 0.85 m

Explanation: The stake itself is 0.20 m above ground. The 'C 0.65' means 0.65 m deep from the current ground. Therefore, the total depth from the top of the stake to the sub-grade is 0.20 m (stake height) + 0.65 m (cut from ground) = 0.85 m.
