Question

A twin cable ropeway consists of

• A. Two track ropes and one traction rope
• B. One track rope and two traction ropes
• C. Two track ropes and two traction ropes
• D. Three track ropes and one traction rope

Hint:

Types of aerial ropeways: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Mono-cable} &\rightarrow \text{One rope performs both functions} \text{Twin-cable} &\rightarrow \text{Two track ropes + One traction rope} \end{aligned} } \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Recall the construction of a twin cable ropeway. A twin cable ropeway uses separate ropes for supporting the carriers and for hauling them.

Step 2: Identify the rope arrangement. It consists of \[ \boxed{ \text{Two track ropes and one traction (haulage) rope.} } \] Hence, \[ \boxed{(A)} \] is the correct answer.
