As per IRC, NO grade compendsation is provided for gradient lesser than 4%. So answer is E.

What is maximum & minimum gradient according to IRC?
1:60, 1:75gradient is wrong or right according to IRC?

Grade compensation = 75/r = 75/300 = 3 - 0.25 = 2.75%.

According to IRC, the grade compensation is not necessary for gradients flatter than 4% and therefore when applying grade competition correction, the gradients need not be eased beyond 4%.

Why the value 75/300 is taken?

Gradient of a highway is <4%, so the answer is 3% only, no need to compensate.
