The ruling gradient is known as the design gradient.
The limiting gradient is known as max. Gradient.
So, the Steepest gradient in ordinary conditions should not exceed the max. Gradient ie. Limiting gradient.
So, B is correct.
The limiting gradient is known as max. Gradient.
So, the Steepest gradient in ordinary conditions should not exceed the max. Gradient ie. Limiting gradient.
So, B is correct.

Maximum gradient is correct. Which is provided when gradient steeper than ruling gradient.
Ruling gradient is provided for normal roads which is also called as design gradient.

I think, It is A.

I think max and ruling gradient are same.

Yes, @Soumik and @Sohan.
I also think the answer should be A.
I also think the answer should be A.

Maximum gradient means limiting gradient. Not ruling gradient.

It will be an exceptional gradient.

The ruling gradient is max. Gradient and it is provided in ordinary condition.
While limiting gradient is steeper then ruling but it is provided due to a shortage of money and topography of road.
The exception is also steeper than ruling but it is provided extreme topography.
And question says ordinary condition. So B is a correction because it separately mentions.
I know A and B same.

Yes, I also go with @Shubham's answer.
