At two different places, the angles of dip are respectively $30^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$. At these two places, the ratio of the horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{3} : \sqrt{2}$
  • B
    $1 : \sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $1 : 2$
  • D
    $1 : \sqrt{3}$

$A$ dip circle is adjusted so that its needle moves freely in the magnetic meridian. In this position,the angle of dip is $40^{\circ}$. Now the dip circle is rotated so that the plane in which the needle moves makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the magnetic meridian. In this position,the needle will dip by an angle:
