Answer is in meter so we have to convert the speed in m/s.

Value of radius (R) =226m correct answer. So option (D) right.

How we can use e is 0.07 and f is 0.15?

e= 0.07 & f= 0.15 (both are constant).
e + f= V^2/127R.
Where: R= radius of horizontal Curve.
R= 60^2/127(0.07+0.15).
R= 128.84m,
Note: here V is in kmph.
e + f= V^2/127R.
Where: R= radius of horizontal Curve.
R= 60^2/127(0.07+0.15).
R= 128.84m,
Note: here V is in kmph.

For hilly road e = 0.10.
For plain e = 0.07 and the value of friction for cross slope f = 0.15.
For plain e = 0.07 and the value of friction for cross slope f = 0.15.

We can Also used,
R =v * v/0.22 * g.
= 128.89 Approx.
R =v * v/0.22 * g.
= 128.89 Approx.

Absoulte min radius=( Vmin)^2/((127)(e(max)+.15).
Here Vmin=60, emax= .07 [7% for plain terrain].
=128.8m.
So, D is correct.
Here Vmin=60, emax= .07 [7% for plain terrain].
=128.8m.
So, D is correct.

A 2-lane horizontal curve in which radius varies from infinite to some finite value R,
constructed in hilly terrain. The radius R of curve was equal to the absolute minimum radius. If the design speed and minimum speed on the curve is 60 kmph and 40 kmph respectively.
Then calculate the length of this horizontal curve.
