Both the formula is correct, the only difference is in e = v^2/127R, uses 75% of speed, and in e = V^2/225R, we are directly used.

The given answer is true, don't confuse it.

It is the right answer, it will use v^2/225r.

A District road having the mixed traffic condition so speed is reduced by 25%.

Super elevation e = V^2 / 225 R.
e = 75 * 75/225 * 1000
= 0.025.

so for 1m,
1/0.025 = 40.
=> 1 in 40.

I think the formula of superelevation e= v^2/225R.

So we put all values as given in the question e = 75 * 75/225 * 1000.
e = 1/40.

v^2/225R is correct.
v^2/127R when f = 0.

The provided answer 1 in 40 is correct.

But, here v^2/225 is the highest unit of super-elevation.

Mukeah senani said:   9 years ago
E = V^2/225R -> this method is Right.

Jayrajsinh said:   9 years ago
Practically super elevation e = v^2/225R.

So answer 1 in 40 is correct.
