compound curves

Problems
A compound curve has the following characteristics:

I₁ = 24°	D₁ = 6°
I₂ = 36°	D₂ = 4°
Stationing of P.C. = km 10 + 420

Compute the stationing of P.C.C.

A. km 10 + 560	C. km 10 + 520
B. km 10 + 540	D. km 10 + 500

Compound Curves
A compound curve consists of two (or more) circular curves between two main tangents joined at point of compound curve (PCC). Curve at PC is designated as 1 (R₁, L₁, T₁, etc) and curve at PT is designated as 2 (R₂, L₂, T₂, etc).
