Thanks for the explanation.

According to IRC grade compensation is provide if the gradient is steeper than 4% or radius of curvature is less than 305m. Since in the problem radius of curvature is given 300 (<305) we can calculate. The answer is 2.75.

75/100 why provided here?

I have not learn this formula in my college. IRC grade compensation is provided only if ruling gradient is more than 3.5%.

Answer is 3% because for less than 4% there is no grade compensation.

What is the formula for calculation of compensation gradient?
