|
C. distance visible to a driver during night driving |
|
D. height of the object above the road surface |
|

7. Stopping sight distance and frictional coefficients are ____. |
|
A. unrelated |
|
B. directly proportional to each other |
|
C. either directly or inversely proportional to each other depending on the nature of pavement |
|
D. inversely proportional to each other |
|
Answer: D inversely proportional to each other
Explanation:

8. The Star and Grid pattern of road network was adopted in ____. |
|
A. Delhi Road Plan |
|
B. Nagpur Road Plan |
|
C. Bombay Road Plan |
|
D. Lucknow Road Plan |
|
Answer: B Nagpur Road Plan
Explanation:
In the Nagpur Road Plan, the roads were divided into five categories: National Highway (NH) State Highway (SH) Major District Roads (MDR) Other District Roads (ODR) Village Roads (VR) The two formulae were based on star and grid pattern of road network. Hence, first formula is called star formula and the second formula is called grid formula. |
