Right answer is (b) canal partly in excavation and partly in embankment

Explanation: There are generally three kinds of canal sections involved in irrigation works and they are:-

• Canal fully in excavation

• Canal fully in embankment

• Canal partly in excavation and partly in embankment

Generally, the volume of earthwork for irrigational canals is calculated by the Trapezoidal formula which is also called End-area formula or the Mid-sectional formula. Generally, the side slope in cutting is kept as 1:1(H:V) and in banking 1.5:1(H:V) or 2:1(H:V) according to soil condition.
