Question

The magnetic bearing of a line is ${50}^{\circ }{32}^{\prime }.$ If the magnetic declination is $6^{\circ }{02}^{\prime }$ West, then the true bearing of the line is

• A. ${44.50}^{\circ }$
• B. ${56.3}^{\circ }$
• C. ${44.30}^{\circ }$
• D. ${56.56}^{\circ }$

Answer 1

The correct option is C ${44.30}^{\circ }$


True bearing = Magnetic bearing - Western declination

$={50}^{\circ }{32}^{\prime }-6^{\circ }{02}^{\prime }$

$={44}^{\circ }{30}^{\prime }$
