The question is wrong it should be h2/2l -h4/8l3 instead of h4/8l3.

How will get 3.3?

ASSUMING L=100m then ,Cs=(400/(2*100))+(8000/(8*100^3)= 2.001m.
Which less than 3m.

If the value of h is maximum then h^4 value is greater than the other value. So how is possible to this? Value goes nearest to zero right?

h square = 40.

Square root of 40 = 6.32 or 6.33.

How get it 3.3?

When distances are measured along the slope, the equivalent horizontal distance may be determined by applying a slope correction.

The vertical slope angle of the length measured must be measured. (Refer to the figure on the other side).

Thus, For gentle slopes, m<20%.
Ch = h^2/2l.

For steep slopes, 20% <= m <= 30%.
Ch = h^2/2l+h^4/8l^3.

For very steep slopes, m>30%.
Ch = l(1-cos0).

For slopes greater than 5% the above formula must be adopted otherwise the second part of the formula can be neglected.

Since the first three options are less than or equal to 5% they can neglected as the 3m is greater than 5% the second part of formula must included. Hence the answer is (D) 3m.

If h2 = 4O. Then h = 6.324.

How it will come 3.3? Please explain.
