Concept:

(a) if the length of the chord is 20 m

\(D^{∘}={1146\over R}\)

Where R = Radius of the curve in m

D∘ = Degree of curve

(b) If the chord length is 30 m

\(D^{∘}={1719\over R}\)

Calculation:

Given data:

Curve radius (R) = 688 m

Chord length (L) =?

Degree of the curve (\(D^{∘}\)) =?

Let the length of the chord is 20

\(Degree\, of\, curve(D^{∘})={1146\over 688}\)

\(Degree\, of\, curve(D^{∘})=1.665^{∘}\)

Degree of curve 1.665∘ not given an option

Let the length of the chord is 30

\(Degree\, of\, curve(D^{∘})={1719\over 688}\)

\(Degree\, of\, curve(D^{∘})=2.4985\approx 2.5^{∘}\)

\(Degree\, of\, curve(D^{\circ})=2.5^{\circ}\)
