Question

The magnetic bearing of a line AB is S ${45}^{\circ }$ E and the declination is $5^{\circ }$ West. The true bearing of the line AB is

• A. $S{40}^{\circ }E$
• B. $S{50}^{\circ }E$
• C. $S{45}^{\circ }E$
• D. $S{60}^{\circ }E$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $S{50}^{\circ }E$


True bearing of line AB = Magnetic bearing + declination

$=S{45}^{\circ }E+5^{\circ }=S{50}^{\circ }E$
