0.5
10

The correct answer is A. 1.0.

A passenger car unit (PCU) is a unit used to measure the traffic load on a road. It is defined as the equivalent of one passenger car in terms of its impact on the road. The PCU value for a vehicle is determined by its weight, size, and type.

The IRC (Indian Roads Congress) has specified the PCU values for different types of vehicles. The PCU value for a passenger car is 1.0. This means that one passenger car has the same impact on the road as 1.0 PCU.

The other options are incorrect. Option B, 2.0, is the PCU value for a light commercial vehicle. Option C, 0.5, is the PCU value for a two-wheeler. Option D, 10, is the PCU value for a heavy truck.
