For road centrifugal ratio = 1/4.
For railway = 1/8.
Centrifugal ratio = v^2/Rg.
R = radius

(v^2/r) = Acceleration rate * t.
t = time

t = L/v.
L = length.
v = velocity.

Here we get L=(v^3)/(acceleration * r).

Acceleration is given and r is same for road and railway.
So, L is directly proportional to v^3 and from centrifugal ratio = v^2/Rg.
v is directly proportional to square root of the centrifugal ratio.

From here ratio of length for road and railway;
L1/L2= (1/2)^3/(1/square root 8)^3.
= 2 * square root 2.
= 2 * 1.414.
= 2.828.
