Concept:The bearing of a point from another is the angle measured clockwise from north. Opposite bearings differ by $180^{\circ}$.Explanation:The bearing of $P$ from $Q$ is given as $060^{\circ}$.To find the bearing of $Q$ from $P$, add $180^{\circ}$ to the given bearing because the direction is reversed.Bearing of $Q$ from $P = 060^{\circ} + 180^{\circ} = 240^{\circ}$.Since $240^{\circ}$ is less than $360^{\circ}$, no further adjustment is needed.Answer:The bearing of $Q$ from $P$ is $240^{\circ}$, i.e. Option D.
