Question on operational procedures

Hello!
I was wondering if someone can help me on this question:

You plan to fly from point A (60oN 010oE) to point B (60oN 020oE). The gyro North of the gyro compass, assumed to be operating perfectly, with no rate correction device, is aligned with the true North of point A. The constant gyro heading to be followed when starting from A given that the flight time scheduled is 1h30 min with a zero wind, is equal to:

a)66
b)80
c)76
d)85

Questions:
1)Do we have to draw one of these known diagrams with a circle and grid north or just a just two parallels (010oE and 020oE) are enough?
2)How the solution is affected by the fact that at point A the gyro north is aligned with true north?
3)The two points (A and B) have the same latitude.That means that in order to fly from A to B we have to fly constant TRUE track of 090o?This is a rhumb line?

I would be grateful to anybody who has the will and time to spend some time on this question.

Thanks for reading!
