JAA PPL Question

Hello all,

I'm studying for my JAA PPL and one question that I couldn't understand. Any help is mostly appreciated.

a pilot setting off on a cross-country route in a cruise climb over a part of the country where the transition altitude is 3000 feet, has just been given a regional pressure setting of 970mb (hpa), from a local ATSU. His magnetic track is 260. What will be the transition level and what will be lowest avialable Flight Level that the pilot can use, in accordance with the quardrantal rule? (Note assume that pressure falls with increasing height by 1 mb every 30 feet)

a. FL 45 FL 60
b. FL 40 FL 55
c. FL 30 FL 30
d. FL 45 FL 55
