Consider the following figure, which is an extract from a contour map (scale = 1 : 20,000) of an area. An alignment of a road at a ruling gradient of 4% is to be fixed from the point O and beyond. What should be the radius of the arc with O as the centre to get the point of a alignment on the next contour on the map.

Correct Option: C
Interval of contour = 20 m.
∴ length of arc = | = 500 m (4% gradient) | |
0.04 |
For 1 : 20,000 side, 500 m will be | on map i.e., 2.5 cm | |
20,000 |
