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.

Second term is neglected for slope less than 10%.
Slope for given problem for:
C) (2/20)*100 = 10%.
D) (3/20)*100 = 15%.
So for h = 2 m or less it is neglected.
And for h = 3 m it will be taken into account.

h square = 40.
Square root of 40 = 6.32 or 6.33.
How get it 3.3?
