The metro which has been recently inroduced in Mumbai, encounters a sharp turn between Andheri and Chakala. To avoid any derailing issues, the authorities thought of banking the rails.The turn is of a radius of 400 m and the maximum speed attained by Mumbai Metro is 72 `km//hr`. IF the distance between the rails is 1 m then through what height should the outer rail be raised?

A

2.5 cm

B

0.5 cm

C

10 cm

D

15 cm
