Hint: In dimensional analysis, the presence or absence of constants, ratios, trigonometric identities cannot be determined. They are dimensionless. That means the dimension is ${M^0}{L^0}{T^0}$. Therefore adding or removing them does not affect the equation.
Formula used: Centripetal Force : \[{F_c} = \dfrac{{m{v^2}}}{r}\] \[\]
Complete step by step solution:
The car moving on a normal road does not experience any forces other than its weight, normal reaction and friction. In this question the frictional force is not considered.
So we have its weight $mg$ acting downwards and its normal reaction $N$ acting upwards.
Car on a banked road with no friction
Here we can see that due to banking of the road the normal reaction is not straight up.
It is normal to the banked road which makes an angle of $\theta $ with the horizontal surface.
Taking components of the normal reaction in parallel and perpendicular directions with respect to horizontal surface, we can come to these conclusions that (see fig 2)
(i) The $\cos \theta $ component of N(normal reaction) balances the weight of the car.
(ii) The $\sin \theta $ component of N(normal reaction) provides the necessary centripetal force for the car.
$Ncos\theta = mg$
$N = \dfrac{{m \times g}}{{cos\theta }}$
Similarly
$Nsin\theta = \dfrac{{m \times {v^2}}}{r}$
${F_{centripetal}} = \dfrac{{m \times {v^2}}}{r}$ (And this is balanced by $Nsin\theta $)
Substituting value of $N$, we get
$\dfrac{{m \times {v^2}}}{r} = \left( {\dfrac{{m \times g}}{{cos\theta }}} \right) \times sin\theta = mgtan\theta $
$mgtan\theta = \dfrac{{m \times {v^2}}}{r}$
Rearranging, $tan\theta = \dfrac{{{v^2}}}{{rg}}$
This shows that even though the equation is dimensionally correct, the answer is wrong.
Therefore (i) and (ii) are the correct options
Note: Unlike other inclined plane problems we took the components of normal in horizontal and vertical direction since the acceleration is along these directions. Usually in inclined problems the components of mass $mg$ are taken parallel and perpendicular to the inclined plane.But here taking components of the normal force in the horizontal and vertical direction makes it simpler to understand.
