Correct answer: D. 3 : 2

(B) The horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is given by, H=R where, is the angle of dip so H ₁= R 30^ and H ₂= R 45^ H ₁ H ₂ = R 30^ R 45^ = 3 / 2 1 / 2 = 3 2

If the angle of dip at places A and B are 30^ and 45^ respectively, the ratio of horizontal component of earth's magnetic field at A to that at B will be [ 45^ = 45^ = 1 2 , 6 = 1 2 , 6 = 3 2 ]
