The bearing of a line from A to B was measured as S 16degrees45minutes W. It was found out that there was a local attraction at both A and B, and therefore a forward and backward bearing were taken between A and a point C at which there was no local attraction. If the bearing of AC was S 30degrees10minutes E and that of CA was N 28degrees15minutes W, determine the correct bearing of line AB
