Secondly, it is given in the statement that fare has been increased in view of the possibility of incurring losses i.e., to meet the probable deficit. Hence, Assumption II is implicit in the statement.

Correct Answer:
Explanation:
From the given diagram ,
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 the cost of travel including toll on routes S-A-T, S-B-C-T, S-B-A-T and S-D-C-T is the same. And D-T has no traffic due to high toll charge at D.
From the last solutions we will get b = 5, 14 + a = 7 + b + c = 12 + c, or a + 2 = c 7 + b + c = 10 + c + d = 12 + c or d = 2, hence the result is B = 5, d = 2 and c-a = 2 that is satisfied by option (E).
