SSD = vt + v^2/2 * g * (f+0.01n) {all in meter and second}.
f=n*f(actual).

If you convert it to kmph, you will be getting your answer as C so it's correct.

I think option C is wrong because If n in multiplication efficiency decrease of a break then stopping distance also decrease and it is not possible.

D is the correct option. It's actually Stopping (non-passing or non-overtaking) sight distance.

Murali said:   8 years ago
No, option C is correct. When brake efficiency is high then stopping distance increases.

No @Murali.

Actually SSD increased when Brake efficiency decreased.

Here SSD = 0.278Vt + V^2/(254 * 0.35 * n) = 0.278Vt + 0.01V^2/n.

SSD = 0.278Vt + V^2/254*(f+0.01n) if V is in kmph.

Dinesh said:   8 years ago
The Right Answer is;

S = 0.28Vt + (0.01V^2)/n.

Priyanshu said:   8 years ago
All are wrong.

It is 0.28vt+0. 01v^2/n.

According to me, it is 0.28vt+0.01v2/n.
