$A$ car travels on a circular racetrack of radius $50 \text{ m}$, which is banked at an angle $\theta$. If the car travels at a speed $10 \text{ ms}^{-1}$, then the wear and tear on its tyres is minimum. Taking the acceleration due to gravity to be $10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$, the value of $\theta$ is:

  • A
    $\tan^{-1}(1/5)$
  • B
    $\tan^{-1}(2/5)$
  • C
    $\tan^{-1}(\sqrt{3}/2)$
  • D
    $\tan^{-1}(2\sqrt{3})$
