Concept:

We know the relationship between FB and BB 

Back bearing (BB) = Fore bearing (FB) ± 180°. 

+ve sign is used if FB is less than 180° and –ve sign is used if FB is more than 180°.

Included angle = Fore Bearing of next line - Back Bearing of the previous line

Calculation:

F1 Akhil 29-11-21 Savita D1

Fore Bearing of AB = 150°15'

Included Angle ABC = 110°30'

Back Bearing of AB = 150°15' + 180° = 330°15' 

Included angle ABC = F.BBC - B.BAB 

110°30' = F.B.BC - 330° 15'

F.B.BC = 440°45' 

F.B.BC = 440°45' - 360° = 80° 45'

Note: 

If the included angle is negative, then add 360°.

If the included angle is greater than 360° then deduct 360°.
