60 mm.

55 mm.

D.
50 mm.
Correct Answer:
B. 60 mm.
Explanation:
The permissible limit for a flat tyre on a locomotive in a goods train is 50 mm. According to railway safety standards, while the limit for freight or goods wagons is 60 mm, a stricter limit of 50 mm is applied to locomotives and coaching stock to prevent damage to the track and ensure the safety of the engine's mechanical components. If a flat spot exceeds this measurement, it can cause significant hammering impacts on the rails, requiring the locomotive to be speed-restricted or removed from service for wheel reprofiling.
