In a closed traverse, if Algebraic sum of latitudes ∑L = negative and Algebraic sum of departures ∑D = positive, the whole circle bearing of the error of closure will be between  Correct Answer 90° to 180°

Concept:

For an error-free plotted traverse:

ΣL = 0, ΣD = 0

ΣL = Algebraic sum of Latitudes of all the sides

ΣD = Algebraic sum of departure of all the sides

For a segment AB

Latitude = L cos θ & Departure = L sin θ

In whole circle bearing, Bearings are taken w.r.t North Direction

Calculation:

As  Latitude is -ve & Departure is +ve

So, the line lies in the second cordinate

So, The whole circle bearing of the error of closure will be between 90° and 180°
