The normal gradient ( slope of the ground ) is x% which is the same value at the point of Transition curve. The super elevation is starting from this Transition point and ending at the mid of curvature of the horizontal curve.
Hence, after super elevation attained, the difference between gradient is (y-x)%.
Hence, after super elevation attained, the difference between gradient is (y-x)%.

The grade is decreased in a curve, not increased. It is called grade compensation. Y-X % is differential grade. Although, y% is lesser or flatter than x%.

The Answer is correct because Y% is the gradient after attaining full superelevation.
Previously it has X%. So the difference will be {Y-X}%.
Previously it has X%. So the difference will be {Y-X}%.

That is called grade compensation.
At the time of horizontal curves, we reduce the gradient 75/r or (30 + r) /r.
At the time of horizontal curves, we reduce the gradient 75/r or (30 + r) /r.

How the gradient is increased after attaining super elevation?
Please suggest.
