Questions  

At a place on the surface of earth, true dip is 60o. when the dip circle is rotated through an angle θ, the apparent dip is found to be tan1(2). Then θ is equal to 

a
45o
b
tan⁡−123
c
30o
d
tan⁡−1(32)

detailed solution

Correct option is C

BVBH= tanδo   after rotation BvBHcosθ= tanδ or,  tanδ0cosθ=tanδ  here δ0=600 =3 and tanδ=2  hence cosθ=32      θ=300
