If the second term is neglected the slope correction falls under <=20%.
So it may be taken as h^2/2l=20%.
h^2/2*20=0.2.
h=2.82<3.
So answer is 3.

How will get 3.3?

The second term may safely be neglected for slopes flatter than about 1 in 25. Therefore,
h^2/2l=25%.
H^2/2*20=0.25,
H^2=10,
H=3.16.=3 (approx).
h^2/2l=25%.
H^2/2*20=0.25,
H^2=10,
H=3.16.=3 (approx).

Here all the options are correct as we apply them in the second term because the answer is in 10^-3.
So it is neglected. As we take to consider the highest value always so 3 is the correct answer.

FOR SLOPE >=20% THEN 2ND TERM NEGLECTED.
Take min slope 20%,
SLOPE h^2/2l = 20%,
h^2/2 * 20 = 20%,
h^2 = 20% * 40,
h^2 = 8.
h approximately 2.83 which is nearly to 3.
Take min slope 20%,
SLOPE h^2/2l = 20%,
h^2/2 * 20 = 20%,
h^2 = 20% * 40,
h^2 = 8.
h approximately 2.83 which is nearly to 3.

For slope >=20%, the 2nd term can be neglected.
Taking minimum slope as 20%,
Slope = 20%
or, h/d =20%
or, h/20 = 20%
or, h = 20 * 20%
or, h = 4.
Since the value nearer to 4 is 3, so the right answer is 3.
