    The true value of angle of dip at a place is \[60{}^\circ \], the apparent dip in a plane inclined at an angle of \[30{}^\circ \] with magnetic meridian is

    A)  \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{1}{2}\]  

    B)  \[{{\tan }^{-1}}(2)\]

    C) \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{2}{3} \right)\]   

    D)  \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[\tan \,\theta '=\frac{\tan \,\theta }{\cos \,\alpha }=\frac{\tan {{60}^{o}}}{\cos \,{{30}^{o}}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}/2}=2\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\theta '=ta{{n}^{-1}}(2).\]
