Q1:

If no super elevation is provided on a road along curves, pot holes may develop at

A inner edge of the road

B outer edge of the road

C centre of the road

D no where on the road.

ANS:B - outer edge of the road

If no super elevation is provided at curves the pressure on the outer wheels will be more than the inner wheels so as pressure exterrd by the outer wheels is more there would be chance of potholes occuring at outer edge of the road only.
