6. Which line passes through a point, such that plane passing that point and the north and south poles, intersects with the surface of the earth?
a) True Meridian
b) Magnetic Meridian
c) Arbitrary Meridian
d) Survey line
Explanation: True Meridian passes through the true north and south. Magnetic meridian is the imaginary line that connects magnetic south and north poles. Survey line is the line along which surveying proceeds.

a) True bearing
b) Magnetic Bearing
c) Arbitrary bearing
d) Bearing
Explanation: True bearing of a line is the horizontal angle which it makes with the true Meridian through one of the extremities of the line. Compass needle will be parallel to the magnetic meridian. Angle measured always keeping magnetic north as a reference is called magnetic bearing.
