Hi prev answer applied east west wrong way.

Use trig to establish lat. first as convergence not applicable to lat.

80*sin 45= 56.56 =50:30n-oo:57= 49:33n Check because only one answer will have this figure.

If time permits at end of exam or if 2 answers have this lat.

sin 45 = cos 45 so 57 nm traveled west. 57/cos mean lat 50:00 (0.64)= 0009. 120:11-0009=118:42

Given the above CAA questions tend to use 80nm and 45 deg which gives 1 deg lat so prev guy gave good advice. If in doubt draw it out!! in rough as a picture is worth a thousand words.

Good luck
