The bearing of a point X from a point Y is 074°. What is the bearing of Y from X?

  • A. 106°
  • B. 146°
  • C. 164°
  • D. 254°

Correct Answer: D. 254°

Explanation

< YXS = 74° (alternate angles, N\(_1\) S\(_1\) // N\(_2\) S\(_2\))

N\(_2\) E\(_2\) S\(_2\) = 180°

\(\therefore\) Bearing of Y from X = 180° + 74°

= 254°
