Here R=90 and L= 500 is given then how can this answer is possible?

Please explain the answer in detail.

Option A is correct (L2/6RL) * 180/π.

Zeshan said:   8 years ago
The Maximum deflection angle of transition curve (in minutes)= (573.25*L^2)/(R*L).
Therefore = (573.25*90*90)/(500*90).
Answer = 103.18 minutes.
Convert to degrees = 1° 43' 18".
(1°= 60' ,1'= 60").

Anyone give me the correct explanation.

Please explain the answer.

Can you please explain how to convert degree into degree, minutes, seconds in a scientific calculator?

Its 90C/(pie*R) = 90*90/(pie*500) and divide it by 189 to covert into degrees = 1^43^13^.
