If angular measurements of a traverse are more accurate than the linear measurements, then balancing of traverse is generally done by :  

Explanation

Transit Rule: 

• The transit rule may be employed where angular measurements are more precise than linear measurements.
• According to this rule, the total error in latitudes and in departures is distributed in proportion to the latitudes and departure of the sides.
• It is claimed that the angles are less affected by corrections applied by the transit method than those by Bowditch’s method.

Bowditch’s rule: 

• This method is based on assumption that the errors in the linear measurements are proportional to √l and that the errors in angular measurements are inversely proportional to 1/√l where l is the length of a line.
