The correct answer is 2° 10'.

@Karan.
First, we have found out true bearing.
TB is MB plus East declination always. (ie if E is given add if W is given subtract). Then you got TB. From that TB only u r gonna find the MB.
So, MB +Eis TB.
Here you need MB.ie TB -E.

The declination in both the case is EAST, so how it is possible to first add for magnetic declination and then subtract for the same EAST direction?

Yes, true bearing is equal to magnetic bearing (+-) declination - is used when west and + used when east so correct answer is A.

According to me, TB=MB (+/-) declination . So TB=6.32+1=7.32.
Now, mb=7.32-9.42= -2°10' I think as it is -2°10 so it is,
(360°-2°10)=357°50'..
Correct me, if I am wrong.
