Table 1: Mode of Transport between Cities
Table 2: Distance between Cities (KM)
Table 3: Mode of Transport and Cost
Mr. Ranjith lives in MUMBAI and wants to travel to KOCHI. However, the train services are on halt due to laying of track for bullet trains across the country. In this scenario, which of the following is the least cost route to reach KOCHI?
Cost incurred in route MUMBAI - BHUBANESWAR - KOCHI : 701*(2) + 798*5 = Rs. 5392.
Cost incurred in route MUMBAI - CHENNAI - KOCHI : 1000*(1.5) + 901*(1.5) = Rs. 2851.50.
Cost incurred in route MUMBAI - KANYAKUMARI - KOCHI : 950*(2) + 1100*(2.5) = Rs. 4650.
Cost incurred in route MUMBAI - VIZAG - KOCHI : 500*(5) + 600*5 = Rs. 5500.
Hence, we can see that cost incurred in route mentioned option B is the least.
