MD = MB - TB.
10'15" = 32' - TB
-21'45" = -TB
Hence, TB = ANS "A".

TB=MB+MD (if deflection toward east).
TB=MB-MD (if deflection toward west).

In this problem;
Given: MB=32degree.

And
MD = 10degree and 15 minutes (west).

Therefore;

TB=MB-MD{because deflection in west side is given that's why we take it negative).
TB=32'-10'15' = 21'45'.

Hence answer A is correct.

60 - 15 = 45 degree.

31 - 10 = 21 degree.

Total = 21 degree 45 minute.

TRUE BEARING = MAGNETIC BEARING - MAGNECTIC DEC.
TB = 32' - 10'15' = 21'45'.

B is the right answer.

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

I know A is the correct answer but will someone explain the solution without any misinformation!?

Mayur said:   6 years ago
A is the final and correct answer.

magnetic meridian is measured from magnetic meridian i.e 10d15m west of true meridian (north). Hence it should be deducted. and the answer is correct

@Anmol.

60-15 = 45 minutes? Explain it.
