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
3250 m3
3225 m3
3275 m3
3300 m3

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.

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.

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