Given answas is correct as it is asking measured horizontally so horizontal distance of summit is 150/2=75m.

Highest point on summit curve = Ln1/N.
150* 4/4 - (-2) = 100m.

X = (L*n1/N) = (150*16.67/25) = 100 m is the correct answer.

Which is the first tangent point? Right or left?

Sumit said:   10 years ago
= (L*n)/n.

= (150*4)/6.

= 100 m.

x = L * g1/A,
= 150 * 4/6.
= 100m.

The correct Answer should be 100.

Mashal Jins.M said:   10 years ago
Please any one explain that.

Jagdish said:   8 years ago
I think 100 is the Answer.

X= nL/N= 4 * 150/6 = 100.
