Statement: There is an unprecedented rise in berth requests for long-distance trains during the current holiday season. Courses of Action: I. Immediately attach additional coaches to these trains to increase capacity. II. Advise people to plan travel after the holiday season.
-
AOnly I follows.
-
BOnly II follows.
-
CEither I or II follows.
-
DNeither I nor II follows.
-
EBoth I and II follow.
Answer
Correct Answer: Only I follows.
Explanation
Introduction / Context:Seasonal demand spikes are predictable. The railways can expand capacity tactically; advising passengers to defer travel is not a service-oriented solution.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Holiday peak demand now, not later.
- Railways can add coaches subject to rake length/platform constraints.
- Passenger plans are often date-bound.
Concept / Approach:I improves availability immediately via additional coaches or special trains. II ignores service expectations and is impractical.
Step-by-Step Solution:1) Deploy extra coaches/specials on high-demand corridors; dynamic waitlist management.2) Coordinate platform and rake schedules to handle longer formations.3) Communicate added capacity via app/website.
Verification / Alternative check:Capacity addition aligns with public utility mandate; deferring travel is not relief.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:Only II/Either/Both: II is not a remedy.
Common Pitfalls:Ignoring safety limits on rake length; inadequate onboard services for added coaches.
Final Answer:Only I follows.
