Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

△PQR is a right-angle triangle

/QR/\(^2\) = 32\(^2\) + 25\(^2\) = 1024 + 625 = 1649

/QR/ = \(\sqrt{1649}\) = 40.6Km

Let < PQR = θ 

\(\frac{25}{sin θ}\) = \(\frac{40.6}{sin 90}\)

Sin θ = \(\frac{25 Sin 90}{40.6}\) = 38º

Bearing of R from Q = 270 - (48 + 38) = 184º
