A

B

240^{\circ}

B

A

Solution:

Concept:

The bearing of one point from another is the angle measured clockwise from north. Reverse bearings differ by

180^{\circ}

Explanation:

Bearing of

A

from

B

240^{\circ}

Since

240^{\circ} > 180^{\circ}

, subtract

180^{\circ}

to find the opposite bearing.

240^{\circ} - 180^{\circ} = 060^{\circ}

Therefore, the bearing of

B

from

A

060^{\circ}

Answer:

060^{\circ}

Correct option: B.
