Q1:

The steepest gradient permitted on roads which, in ordinary conditions, does not exceed, is known

A ruling gradient

B maximum gradient

C exceptional gradient

D floating gradient

E all the above.

ANS:B - maximum gradient

The ruling gradient is known as the design gradient.

The limiting gradient is known as max. Gradient.

So, the Steepest gradient in ordinary conditions should not exceed the max. Gradient ie. Limiting gradient.

So, B is correct.
