Q1:

If whole circle bearing of a line is 120°, its reduced bearing is

A S 20° E

B S 60° E

C N 120° E

D N 60° E.

ANS:B - S 60° E

This azimuth lies in 2nd quadrant (SE), If you take the angle starting from South and move
towards East, this line will make 180° - 120° = 60° from South direction towards East, So the Bearing of this line will be S 60° E. To starting point always North 180 - 120 = 60.

S 60 E or E 60 S is correct.
