1st : Station ALT 1000ft AMSL, So we'll subtract station height from 37,000(FL370) so 36,0000 (which converters to nearly 6NM) and the distance is 15 NM. We need to find the slant range. So formula of slant range is (S.R)^2 = (Height 1)^2+(Height 2)^2
(S.R)^2 = (15)^2 + (6)^2
(S.R)^2 = 225 + 36
(S.R)^2 = 261
S.R = √261
S.R = 16.1 NM, So the answer is A

2nd : You have the compass and magnetic heading 190° and 188° respectively. Remember Variation east magnetic least (-) so in order to get true track you need to go east(-) because variation is 3°E from the magnetic track. Therefore 188°-3° = 185°(T). The deviation was east(-) of magnetic by 2° So, -2°

3rd : I think it's a question of 1 in 60 rule but not sure
