1. Magnetic Bearing to the station is = Mag Heading + Relative Bearing = 60 + 30 = 090, that means the aircraft is on 270 radial approaching the station while headed 060

2. 250 radial lies to the right of radial 270 (keeping in mind the current heading 060), so we know we will need to make a right turn, opposite of 250 is 070 will give a course parallel to 250 radial, so add 60 or 45 (intercept angle) which will give 115 to 130 as intercept heading.

3. Even though it is appropriate to use intercept heading of 115-130, only 130 appears in the choices.

4. As per the ATC instruction you will be intercepting the radial 250 inbound before crossing the fix, this gives us a direct entry holding pattern when we cross the fix.


I hope this solves the problem.

For such questions always make a good drawing to start and answers will be obvious.
