  • Question
  • If the government wants to ensure that all motorists travelling from S to T pay the same amount ( fuel costs and toll combined ) regardless of the route they choose and the street from B to C is under repairs ( and hence unusable ), then a feasible set of toll charged (in rupees) at junctions A, B, C and D respectively to achieve this goal is :


  • Options
  • A. 2, 5, 3, 2
  • B. 0, 5, 3, 1
  • C. 1, 5, 3, 2
  • D. 2, 3, 5, 1

  • Correct Answer
  •  

    Explanation

    As per the given figure , we can see that
    Let the toll charged at junctions A, B, C and D be a, b, c and d respectively.
    Then 1st we will list down all the routes and corresponding cost of travel.
    Since Route BC is under repair hence route S-B-C-T is not in use.
    Rest all four have the same toll charges hence 14 + a = 9 + a + b ? b = 14 - 9 = 5
    Similarly 10 + c + d = 13 + d ? c = 13 - 10 = 3
    Hence Options 4 is ruled out, now if we check option rest 3 options we will find out that option 2 and 3 both are correct. Option (2)/(3) Inconsistent options .
