Detailed Solution

tanθ=BV/BH  [real dip is θ ]…………………(1)
In the place situated at 300 with the magnetic meridian, the horizontal component of the 
earth’s magnetic field will be BHcos300 while the vertical component will be  Bv. The angle 
of dip in this place is
tan60o=BvBHcos30o 
 tan60o.cos30o=BvBH

From equation (1), 

 tanθ=3.32
 tanθ=32
θ=tan132 .
