The plane of a dip circle is set in the geographic meridian and the apparent dip is $\delta_1$. It is then set in a vertical plane perpendicular to the geographic meridian. The apparent dip angle is $\delta_2$. The declination $\theta$ at the place is

  • A
    $\tan ^{-1}(\tan \delta_1 \tan \delta_2)$
  • B
    $\tan ^{-1}(\tan \delta_1 + \tan \delta_2)$
  • C
    $\tan ^{-1}(\frac{\tan \delta_1}{\tan \delta_2})$
  • D
    $\tan ^{-1}(\tan \delta_1 - \tan \delta_2)$
