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

60 - 15 = 45 degree.

31 - 10 = 21 degree.

Total = 21 degree 45 minute.

Answer should be B.

True bearing=magnetic bearing+magnetic declination.

Aslam said:   8 years ago
True bearing=MB- Declination.
TB=32°-10°15
= 21°45.

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

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

Mit said:   8 years ago
@Amit.

TB = MB - MD if declination is westward.

@Anmol.

60-15 = 45 minutes? Explain it.

Mayur said:   5 years ago
A is the final and correct answer.
