1)  using logic/eyes, once you sketch the bearings b,c,d,e is out of the question. So i believe it;s A. Reason being, Point B is between 90 and 180 (south-east) it can not possibly surpass 180, hence 97 seems more correct. you can see it better once you drawn it.

and i cbb with the other question :)

EDIT: Sorry it didnt seem very helpful :( I can draw it for you better than explaining it on here.
