Who thinks up this drivel and puts it in questions for an exam. I've got an IR and the theory and related exams were less use than a chocolate fireguard. I had to learn all about IFR flying from the web after I got the rating!

I'm still not sure I see the point of this and why anyone would waste time working it out in the air. In practice you'd just twiddle the knob until the needle centred and then read the bearing off the bottom of the dial. Then retwiddle to the radial you wanted ( 150 TO in this case) and then fly left until the needle centred and then track the radial.

Yep
Yep,
But as we all know with flying it's about jumping through the hoops and then learning properly afterwards.
Despite cramming Air Law, and working out what coloured flare I should shoot at a tower, in response to a green flare being shot at me I've never shot a flare from an aircraft (first ever Flyby shooting?!)
In fact, I would be more than a little bit alarmed if somebody started loading a flare gun, in the passenger seat, and started talking about shooting it from the PA28!
