Options:
  • A $20 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$
  • B $30 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$
  • C $5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$

The correct answer is: $30 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$
The angle of banking
$\tan \theta=\frac{v^2}{r g}$
Given, $\theta=45^{\circ}, r=90 \mathrm{~m}$
and $g=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$
$\begin{aligned}
\tan 45^{\circ} & =\frac{v^2}{90 \times 10} \\
v & =\sqrt{90 \times 10 \times \tan 45^{\circ}}
\end{aligned}$
Speed of $\operatorname{car} v=30 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
