Which of the following curves is not used in case highways?

Which of the following curves is not used in case highways? Correct Answer Reverse curve

Simple, compound, transition curves can be used in case of highway as they are having good amount of curvature provided by the radius. But in the case of reverse curve, it provides immediate turning, which should not be present in highway as it may lead to accidents. So it is avoided.

In the question below, are given a statement followed by three courses of actions numbered I, II and III. On the basis of the information given, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the following suggested courses of actions logically follow(s) for pursuing. Statement: Starting October, all new cars will have pedestrian safety features, including new design of the bonnet, to reduce impact on pedestrians during accidents. Advanced safety features are needed in all vehicles in India as vehicle safety cannot be confined to luxury vehicles only. Around 1.5 lakh people are killed in road accidents every year in the country, nearly 60% of them are pedestrians.  Courses of action: I. The government has set a target to reduce the number of road deaths by half in the next two years. The ministry of road transport and highways has been issuing new safety standards for the automobiles along with eliminating the black spots on national highways.  II. By next month, all new cars will have pedestrian safety feature, including new design of the bonnet, to reduce impact on pedestrians during accidents.  III. Ministry of road transport and Highways is planning to implement all safety features in vehicles with active support of vehicle manufacturers. Electronic stability control (ESC) and autonomous emergency braking (AEB) will be incorporated in new vehicles by 2022.

Assertion (A): If the monopolist faces identical demand curves for his commodity in two separate markets, by practising third degree price discrimination, he cannot increase his TR and total profits.
Reason (R): As the marginal revenue curves are identical when the demand curves in the two markets are the same, the monopolist will not charge different prices in each market to maximise profits.
