The magnetic declination W is always -ve so just subtract 32 Degree -10degree 15 minute= 21 degree 45 minute.

60 - 15 = 45 degree.

31 - 10 = 21 degree.

Total = 21 degree 45 minute.

@Anmol.

60-15 = 45 minutes? Explain it.

Sanjay said:   9 years ago
Answer should be B.

True bearing=magnetic bearing+magnetic declination.

So, the Answer should be A.

T.B = M.B+magnetic declination.
T.B = 32'-10'15'.
T.B = 21'45'.

Answer should be B.

The Answer is A) declination is westward ie, negative.

Amit said:   8 years ago
TB = MB + MD if declination is eastward.

TB = MB + MD if declination is westward.

Mit said:   8 years ago
@Amit.

TB = MB - MD if declination is westward.

Kaweri said:   8 years ago
Magnetic bearing toward West is -ve so just subtract.
