1. What is link traverse? Explain adjustment of angular mis-closure in link traverse.

2. What is omitted measurement? Explain the case if the affected sides are not adjacent.
3. Find the corrected bearing of the following link traverse NABCX. Observed angles are
112°43’48”, 168°56’26”, 63°05’02”, 302°26’45” & 37°59’10” at N, A, B, C & X. Bearing
