    dear student, the question is asking about the dip of the bed along the strike direction of vertical bed. Since strike of the vertical bed is along true dip direction of the given bed so, the plunge of intersecting lineation would be equal to the true dip of the bed.

    Try to draw a diagram (plan/sectional view) for such questions. After drawing the diagram, you will get the exact idea of the problem. After that, by using the basic concepts of dip, strike, plunge etc., you can solve the problem.
