Self cleaning velocity is 0.75 m/s to 0.9 m/s.
So 100/120 =0.83.
100/60 =1.66.
100/100 =1.
So right answer is 1 in 120.

The slope of sewer should be designed for min permissible velocity at min flow but in this case, a material made of sewer not given so can't be calculated if I assume brick-lined sewer then calculate slope by given velocity trial and error velocity (1to2.5).

Using Manning's formula.

Vs=[(R^0.67)*(S^0.5)]/n.
For circular sewer R=D/4=0.225/4=0.05625m.
Vs=ranges from 0.45 to 0.8 m/s from S.K.GARG EEN Vol IIT.
Take Max for design Vs=0.8 m/s.
n=Manning's constant=0.015.
0.8=[(0.05625^0.67)*(S^0.5)]/0.015.
(S^0.5)=0.08253.
S=0.00681.
S=1/147.
So we can option 'C'.

Thank you all for giving the answer.

Take V = 0.9 m/s,
R = D/4,
then, S will be equal to 1/118 which is close to 1/120.

National building organization (N.B.O) of India has suggested as for 100mm, 150mm, 225mm dia the gradient required to generate self-cleaning velocity are 1in60, 1 in 100, 1 in 120 respectively.

Dia of sewer ------- Gradient ------ Velocity.
100 ------- 1 in 60 ------- 0.58 m/s.
150 ------- 1 in 100 ------- 0.61 m/s.
225 ------- 1 in 120 ------- 0.79 m/s.
