In automatic block area SL. The LSS shall not be taken of unless the line is clear upto A. next automatic stop signal B. Automatic stop signal+120 Meters C. Automatic stop signal+180 Meters D. None of these

next automatic stop signal
Automatic stop signal+120 Meters
Automatic stop signal+180 Meters
None of these

The correct answer is: B. Automatic stop signal+120 Meters

The LSS (Lineside Shunting Signal) is a signal that is used to control the movement of shunting locomotives. It is located at the entrance to a shunting area and indicates whether or not the area is clear for shunting operations.

In automatic block area SL, the LSS shall not be taken off unless the line is clear up to the automatic stop signal plus 120 meters. This is to ensure that there is sufficient space for the shunting locomotive to clear the area before the next train arrives.

Option A is incorrect because it does not take into account the need for sufficient space for the shunting locomotive to clear the area.

Option C is incorrect because it is more than the required distance.

Option D is incorrect because it is not a valid option.
