No its not right answer either it is ns^2/4.4 or ns^2/9.6 but here 4.4 is not given. so correct is ns^2a/9.6.

Above comment is wrong correct answer is either based on comfort condition.

i.e 2{(Nv^3)/C}/1/2 or H.S.D that is difference (NS^2)/(1.5+.0355) or 2S-reverse.

Is it correct answer because formula is ns2/(1.5+0.035s)?

All the options are of summit curve not valley curve.

Tashu said:   9 years ago
Yes, Formula is NS * 2/(1.5 + 0.035S).

Whether, it is safe sight distance or overtaking sight distance? Please tell me.

It is safe sight distance. There is no problem regarding OSD inc ase of valley curve. We consider only head light sight distance which is equal to SSD. And formula used is NS^2/1.5+0.35S.

Garry said:   8 years ago
This should be Ns^2/4.4.

HSD should be at least equal to SSD.

I think it is B.
