A should be the answer as "in ordinary conditions, we provide only ruling gradient".

Toryvio said:   4 years ago
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.
