The radius of a curved road is $R$,and the width of the road is $b$. The outer edge of the road is raised by $h$ with respect to the inner edge so that a car with velocity $V$ can pass safely over it. The value of $h$ is ($g =$ acceleration due to gravity).

  • A
    $\frac{V^2 b}{R g}$
  • B
    $\frac{V}{Rgb}$
  • C
    $\frac{V^2 R}{g}$
  • D
    $\frac{V^2 b}{g}$
