- \(40\) seconds
- \(50\) seconds
- \(60\) seconds
- \(80\) seconds

The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Recall the relation for cycle length.
The cycle length is the sum of the effective green time and the total lost time.
\[
C
=
G+L
\]
where
- \(G\) = Total effective green time
- \(L\) = Total lost time
Step 2: Substitute the values. \[ C = 40+20 = 60\ \text{seconds} \] Hence, \[ \boxed{60\ \text{seconds}} \] Therefore, \[ \boxed{(C)} \] is the correct answer.
Step 2: Substitute the values. \[ C = 40+20 = 60\ \text{seconds} \] Hence, \[ \boxed{60\ \text{seconds}} \] Therefore, \[ \boxed{(C)} \] is the correct answer.
