If the government wants to ensure that no traffic flows on the street from D to T, while equal amount of traffic flows through junctions A and C, then a feasible set of toll charged (in rupees) at junctions A, B, C and D respectively to achieve this goal is

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).
