You take a bearing of 142° and 259° of two objects. Which bearing of a third object will give the best fix?

Correct Answer: Option B — 201°

A strong fix requires lines of position to intersect at angles as close to 90 degrees as possible. With bearings of 142° and 259°, the spread is 117°. A third bearing of 201° provides an intersection angle of approximately 59° and 58° with the others, offering the best geometric geometry.
