As super elevation e+f=v^2/ (g.r) so it is directly proportional to the design speed option b is incorrect because the speed of vehicles is mentioned there in the statement not the design speed of the vehicle will differ for the different vehicle so it is incorrect.

Because s.e can be made on design speed.

Super elevation =V*2/gR=F/W<=b/2h.
So, the answer is b.

A is correct because velocity of vehicle is directly proportional to super elevation.

Rudresh meena said:   8 years ago
A is correct because velocity of vehicle is directly proportional to super elevation.

A is correct because velocity of vehicle is directly proportional to super elevation.

How?

e=tan (θ) = opp/adj = h/b = central rise/width.

So super elevation is inversely proportional to width of pavement. But they have given as directly prop. So the answer is A.

Super elevation is inversely proportional to the radius.

E!=e B where e is the super-elevation.

Guys. Question is actually trick you. B is Right.
E=eB.
e=v*v/gR.

SO,
E=v*v*B/gR.

From the final equation.
E directly proportion to width, the square of the velocity and, inversely proportional to the g and R.

here, superelevation does not directly proportional to the velocity of vehicles, but the only square of the velocity.

SO, answer B IS RIGHT.

e=v^2/Rg so directly proportional to the square of thè velocity.
