Solution

The correct option is A Vertical
A dip needle in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic meridian will remain vertical as the horizontal component to earth's field is not effective as the axis of rotation of needle lies in the direction of horizontal component of magnetic field.

A dip circle is so set that the dip needle moves freely in the magnetic meridian. In this position the angle of dip is $39^{\circ}$ . Now the dip circle is rotated so that the plane in which the needle moves, makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the magnetic meridian. In this position, the needle will dip by an angle :
