    True bearing 315 degrees, compass error 15 degrees East, variation 13 degrees East Find magnetic bearing

    • 298 degrees

    • 328 degrees

    • 300 degrees

    • 302 degrees

    Correct Answer
    A. 302 degrees
    Explanation
    The true bearing is given as 315 degrees, which means the direction is 315 degrees clockwise from true north. The compass error is 15 degrees East, which means the compass needle points 15 degrees to the East of true north. The variation is 13 degrees East, which means the magnetic north is 13 degrees to the East of true north. To find the magnetic bearing, we need to subtract the compass error and add the variation to the true bearing. Therefore, 315 degrees - 15 degrees + 13 degrees = 313 degrees. However, since the answer options do not include 313 degrees, the closest option is 302 degrees.
