To finalize the direction of a survey, four surveyors set up a theodolite at a station P and performed all the temporary adjustments. From the station P, each of the surveyors observed the bearing to a tower located at station Q with the same instrument without shifting it. The bearings observed by the surveyors are 30° 30' 00", 30° 29' 40", 30° 30' 20" and 30° 31' 20". Assuming that each measurement is taken with equal precision, the most probable value of the bearing is

A

30° 29' 40"

B

30° 30' 20"

C

30° 30' 00"

D

30° 31' 20"

A child walks on a level surface from point P to point Q at a bearing of 30°, from point Q to point R at a bearing of 90° and then directly returns to the starting point P at a bearing of 240°. The straight-line paths PQ and QR are 4 m each. Assuming that all bearings are measured from the magnetic north in degrees, the straight-line path length RP (in meters) is ______________ (rounded off to the nearest integer).
