Solution

The correct option is B R1<R2
The weight Mg of the car acts vertically decreases through the center of gravity G of the car
R1+R2=Mg
and the horizontal force F provides the centripetal force for motion in a circle
F=mv2r
Taking moments about G, there should be no resultant turning effect about the center of gravity
Fh+R1a=R2aR2=Fh+R1aaor,R2=R1+(Fha)R2>R1
