= 45 x Cos (103)
= -`10 kts.......- stands for Tail wind
so Gs will be TAS +(Headwind comp)= Ground speed
140+(10)=150Kts
drift angle
Tan(theta)= Crosswind component/TAS
= 43.8/140=17.13deg
Wind is from around 5 o clock...therefore ur drifting left i.e. 17Left
i don't care what are the options..these are the accurate figures
How we get 103...do explain.
