Answer:
Towards West
Explanation:
The angle between true North and magnetic North on the horizontal plane is known as Magnetic Declination. This angle varies from place to place and time.
It is given that the Magnetic Bearing of Sun at Noon at a place is 184°
The magnetic declination is given by the formula
TRUE BEARING - MAGNETIC BEARING = MAGNETIC DECLINATION
The true bearing of Sun at noon is 0° or 180°
Substituting the values:
Magnetic declination =180°-184°=-4°
The negative sign shows that it is towards West.
