Convert the whole circle bearing 336°40' to reduced bearing.

Question 1

Convert the whole circle bearing 336°40' to reduced bearing.
1. N 23°20'W
2. S 23°20'W
3. N 23°20'E
4. S 23°20'E

Question 2

Correct Answer - Option 1 : N 23°20'W

Concept:

Whole circle bearing:
- In this system, the bearing of the line is measured from the north in a clockwise direction.
Reduced bearing or Quadrantal bearing:
- Reduced bearing is measured either from the north end or the south end as the case may be i.e. whichever is nearer to the line. the reduced bearing of a line can vary from 0◦ to 90◦.

Calculation:

Reduced bearing ( θ ) = 360◦ - 336°40' = 23°20'

so, reduced bearing = N 23°20' W
