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
Verified Correct Answer: A.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The true declination is calculated by adding the reading of compass bearing to the declination at that place.
= N40^\circE + 10^\circ = N50^\circE
