Solution

The correct option is A 14
Let's assume the point where ramp touches ground be Origin O(0,0) and the point where ramp touches the truck be

A(α,β), Where α and β are the position of point A w.r.t origin O.

Hence we can see that α=12ft

β=3ft

Slope of the ramp is m=βα

Slope of the ramp is m=14

Correct option is A
