Radius of the transition curve is 0 at the tangent point and infinity at the starting of the circular curve. So it is varying through out its length. So the option should be B. In the question, it is stated radius of curvature not the length of the curve. So the above formula is not applicable here @Vikash.

But it is mentioned that it is the ideal transition curve. The shape of ideal transition curve is spiral. So C is correct.

Its answer should be D.
Because:
Ls is inversely prop.to Rc (transition).
also, Ls = V^2 / R or V^3/CR.

Clothiod & spiral same thing. L is inverse relations with radius.

If it's length then the option C is correct.

Good explanation. Thanks @Madhu.

L = v^2/r or 2.7(v^2/R).

As ,Ls = v^3/CR.

Ls = v^3/47CR.
