Option 3 : 335°

Concept:

Whole circle Bearing system:

  • In this system, the bearing of the line is measured from the north in the clockwise direction.
  • Thus whole circle bearing system (WCB) of a line is the horizontal angle that the line makes with the north end of the reference meridian.
  • The WCB of a line can vary from 0° to 360°.

Quadrantal Bearing system:

  • The quadrantal bearing (QB) of a line is the acuate angle that the line makes with the meridian.
  • Quadrantal bearing is measured either from the north end or south end as the case may be i.e. whichever is nearer to the line. The quadrantal bearing of a line can vary from 0° to 90° 

Conversion table for WCB and QB:

Quadrant WCB QB
I θ = 0° to 90°  NθE
II θ = 90° to 180°  S(180° - θ)E
III θ = 180° to 270°  S(θ - 180°)W
IV θ = 270° to 360°  N(360° - θ)W

Calculation:

Given data, 

QB = N 25° W(In IV quadrant)

WCB = 3600 - 25o = 335o
