    Suppose height of instrument is 100 m..
    Then , if a staff stands without any error
    ans that it should be straight ... F. S is 2 m ( assume).
    Then the staff R. L = 100-2 = 98m...
    Now, if the staff not held vertically means inclined. Then it must be reading more than 2 m ( assume first).
    Because of, we know that straight lines is shortest distance between two point as in the first case...
    This staff reading is 3 m ( suppose)..
    The R. L. OF the staff is 100-3 = 97 m....
    So according to this theory answer is option 3
