Correct Option: C
< NPQ = < PQB = 50o(alt. < s)
< PQB = 50o
< PQR = < PQR < PQB + < QBR = 72o
< QBR = < PQR - < PQB = 72o - 50o
= 22o
< NQR = 180 - < QBR = 180o - 22 = 158o, the bearing of R from Q = 158o
< PQB = 50o
< PQR = < PQR < PQB + < QBR = 72o
< QBR = < PQR - < PQB = 72o - 50o
= 22o
< NQR = 180 - < QBR = 180o - 22 = 158o, the bearing of R from Q = 158o
