Problem 1. A reversed curve connects two converging tangents intersecting at an angle of 30 degrees. The distance of this intersection from the PI of the curve is 120 meters. The deflection angle of the common tangent from the back tangent is 20 degrees (first curve) and the azimuth of the common tangent is 300 degrees. The degree of curve of the second simple curve is 6 degrees and the stationing of the point of intersection of the first curve is 4+450. Determine the stationing of the PC, PRC and the PT.
