The plane of dip circle is set in the geographical meridian and the apparent dip is θ. It is then set in a vertical plane perpendicular to the geographical meridian. The apparent dip becomes θ2. The angle of declination α is given by

a
tan α=tan θ1 x tan θ2
b
tan α=tan θ12 x tan θ22
c
tan α=tan θ1tan θ2
d
tan α=tan θ2tan θ1

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Here, in geographical meridian, tan θ1=VH cos αIn a plane perpendicular to the magnetic meridian, tan θ2=VH cos 90o-α=VH sin α∴tan θ1tan θ2=sin αcos α =tan α
