​

Answer 1

$\mathfrak{\huge{\pink{\underline{\underline{answer:-}}}}}$

Everest was largely responsible for surveying the meridian arc from the southernmost point of India north to Nepal, a distance of about 2,400 kilometres (1,500 mi), a task which took from 1806 to 1841 to complete. He was made Surveyor General of India in 1830, retiring in 1843 and returning to England.

Answer 2

Sir George is best remembered thanks to the world’s highest mountain which came to bear his name. The mountain was measured by Andrew Scott Waugh, Everest’s successor as the Surveyor General of India in 1852, and the mountain was named after Everest in recognition of his significant surveying expertise.
