If the angles of dip at two places are 30o and 45o respectively, then the ratio of horizontal components of earth's magnetic field at the two places will be

a
3 : 2
b
1 : 2
c
1 : 3
d
1 : 2

detailed solution

Correct option is A

The horizontal components are BH1=B cosϕ1 and BH2=B cosϕ2∴BH1BH2= cosϕ1cosϕ2=cos30ocos45o=32 x 2=32
