Barapullah Phase-3 Opens as Delhi Gets Rs 1,941 Crore Works

The correct answer is Rs 1,635 crore. The Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation dedicated the Barapullah Elevated Road Phase-3, built at that cost, to the people of Delhi. Option C is the most attractive distractor because it is the value of the whole package of projects inaugurated and begun on the occasion, which stands at more than that amount and includes the elevated road as well as the two works whose foundation stones were laid. Candidates must therefore separate the single project cost from the total package. Options A and D name figures that were not mentioned in connection with either the road or the package. A safe way to remember the pair is that the elevated road accounts for the larger part of the total, with the remainder going to the flyover and the underpass.

The correct answer is East Delhi and South Delhi. The Home Minister stated that the newly dedicated phase of the Barapullah corridor would give signal-free connectivity between the eastern and the southern parts of the capital, so that commuting becomes smoother, motorists get relief from traffic jams and travel time is saved. A signal-free corridor achieves this by carrying traffic over intersections on an elevated deck instead of stopping it at traffic lights. Options A, C and D pair other parts of the city; while Delhi has several corridors linking those areas, none of them is the connection described for this phase. The point to note for examinations is the specific pair of directions named, since a question may change just one of the two.

The correct answer is the Modi Mill-Savitri Cinema Flyover and the Loni Underpass. Along with dedicating the completed elevated road, the Union Home Minister laid the foundation stones of these two works, which together with the road make up the package of projects worth more than Rs 1,941 crore. A flyover lifts traffic over a junction and an underpass takes it beneath, and both are built to remove traffic signals at busy crossings. Option A names a metro corridor and a ring road, which are different categories of project and were not part of this announcement. Options C and D, pedestrian skywalks and a bus rapid transit corridor, are also urban transport works but neither was named. Hence option B is correct.
