To solve this problem using the Rise and Fall method for leveling, we need to perform the following steps:

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Identify Each Station and Reading Type: We identify the stations and the readings as Back Sight (BS), Intermediate Sight (IS), and Fore Sight (FS) for each point.

2. Calculate the Rise or Fall between Successive Points:

   • If the difference between BS and FS at each step is positive, we have a rise.
   • If the difference between BS and FS at each step is negative, we have a fall.

3. Determine the Reduced Level (RL) for Each Point:

   • Start with the RL given for BM1 (12.345 m).
   • Add rises to the previous RL and subtract falls to get the new RL for each point.

4. Check for Misclosure:

   • Calculate the theoretical closing error using the formula: $\pm 5 \sqrt{n}$, where $n$ is the number of setups or leveling stations.
   • Verify if the observed closing error is within the allowable limit.

I'll calculate the steps based on the table you provided and show the detailed work for each station.

Initial Observations

• Given that BM1 has an initial RL of 12.345 m, we will start with this value.
• Let's calculate the RLs based on each subsequent rise or fall.

Always double-check each rise and fall calculation as small errors can compound over multiple stations.
