General equation of horizontal thrust for this condition will be;
H = Wl/4h.
h = l/2.
5/2.5:7.5/3.75:10/5.
= 1:1:2.
H = Wl/4h.
h = l/2.
5/2.5:7.5/3.75:10/5.
= 1:1:2.

Horizontal Trust of 2 Hinged Semicircular arch is independent of its Radius.
Horizontal Trust = W/pi.
Horizontal Trust = W/pi.

Doesn't depend upon the radius due to the concentrated load applied in a semicircular arch.

Answer is D because in this case horizontal trust is irrespective of radius of arch.

Agree the given answer is wrong.
It doesn't depend on radius.
So, the answer is D.
It doesn't depend on radius.
So, the answer is D.

Three hinged arches h is independent of radius hence ratio must be 1:1:1.

@Prachi.
That is for the parabolic arch, not semicircular.
That is for the parabolic arch, not semicircular.

1:1:1.
H=w/π.
H Not depend on radius.
H=w/π.
H Not depend on radius.
