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 and Reversed Curves

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).
