If the angle of declination in a place is 10oE, calculate the true geographic bearing if the compass reads N40oE

  • A.
    N50oE
  • B.
    N40oE
  • C.
    N30oE
  • D.
    N25oE
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

The true declination is calculated by adding the reading of compass bearing to the declination at that place.

= N40°E + 10° = N50°E
