Solution

The correct option is B 34.48
Frictional force= centrifugal force
fmg=mv2R

where,
f=coefficient of friction
m=mass of vehicle (kg)

g=acceleration due to gravity (m/s2)

v=speed of vehicle (m/s)

R=radius of curve (m)

f=v2gR

0.5=v210×18

v2=0.5×10×18

v=90

v=9.45m/s=9.45×185=34.02kmph
