The correct answer is: 8.53 m

Given, initial speed, u=36 km h-1

=36×100060×60=10 m s-1

θ=30°, μ=0.1, s=?

Here, work done in moving up the inclined road= KE of the vehicle

mg sin θ+F s=12mu2

mg sin θ+μR×s=12mu2

mg sin θ+μ mg cos θ×s=12mu2

s=12mu2mg sin θ+μ cos θ=u22 g sin θ+μ cos θ

=10×102×10× sin 30°+0.1 cos 30°=8.53 m
