letter of your choice on the answer sheet provided. Strictly no erasures. Shade letter E if your answer is not among the
choices provided.
Situation A : In a compass survey made 50 years ago, the observed magnetic bearing of a reference line AB was
S5018E when the magnetic declination was 815 east. At present, a new survey was made and the declination in the
same locality changed to 1210 west.
