   2. 35 kmph
   3. 15 kmph

   Answer: (2) 35 kmph

   ICAO limits the crosswind component to about 37 km/h (20 knots) for large aircraft that need long runways (reference field length of 1500 m or more), which Indian textbooks quote as 35 kmph. Smaller aircraft are allowed lower crosswind limits.
