The space between two rails in a broad gauge railway lines is: |
1.676 mts 1.000 mts 1.800 mts 1.200 mts |
1.676 mts |
The correct answer is Option (1) → 1.676 mts On the basis of the width of track of the Indian Railways, three categories have been made: Broad gauge: The distance between rails in broad gauge is 1.676 metre. The total length of broad gauge lines was 63950 km (2019-20). Metre gauge: The distance between rails is one metre. Its total length was 2402 km (2019-20). Narrow gauge: The distance between the rails in this case is 0.762 metre or 0.610 metre. The total length of narrow guage was 1604 km (2019-20). It is generally confined to hilly areas. |
