32.
The ground surface slopes 1 in 50 along a proposed railway embankment 150 m in length. The height of the embankment at zero chainage is 0.5 m, the width is 11 m and side slopes 2:1. If the falling gradient of the embankment is 1 in 150, the quantity of the earthwork calculated by prismoidal formula, is

{(11+13)/2×0.5 + (11+21)/2×2.5}/2 × 150 = 3450cum is the right answer.

A1 = (11+13) * 0.5/2,
Am = (11+17) * 1.5/2,
A2 = (11+22) * 2.5/2.
Put these values in prismatic formula.
Then, I find;
3250m3 is the right answer
We can find by given details
We can create diagrams in the mind.
The ground on slop 1/50 we will take bottom elevation,
Road slop will be given 1/150 top elevation.
Top and bottom elevation of A1 = 0.5, 0.
Top and bottom of elevation of Am = 0, - 1.5.
Top and bottom elevation of A3= -0.5, -3.
Am = (11+17) * 1.5/2,
A2 = (11+22) * 2.5/2.
Put these values in prismatic formula.

There is not clear idea in them.
Trapezoidal base area is a+b/2 into h.
Then it is getting the wrong value.
is there someone to do step by step it? Anyone explain it, please.

B is right ans. The first trapezoidal area will be 5.75 with height .5m and second one's area will be 15.3125 with height 1.25m at 37.5m away.
A3 will be 26. Height 2m
A4 will be 28 Height 3m
A5 will be 60 Height 4m
Slope 2/75.
Area is calculated as trapezoid base width will be;
2 Height+ width.
A3 will be 26. Height 2m
A4 will be 28 Height 3m
A5 will be 60 Height 4m
Slope 2/75.
Area is calculated as trapezoid base width will be;
2 Height+ width.
