Please explain it properly.

Sn = C / Y*Fc*H.

At critical stage Fc = 1, H = Hc.

So, Sn = C /Y*Hc.

Hence, Hc = C/ Y*Sn = 2.5/2*0.05 = 25.

Hc = 2.5/(2*0.05).
HC = 25.

Hc = C/(y*Sn) y - unit weight , Sn - Stability Number.

F = (C/H*Y*Sn), F = Hc/H.

Applying these two formula you will get the answer.
