At what cost has the Barapullah Elevated Road Phase-3 in Delhi been built?
- A.Rs 1,235 crore
- B.Rs 1,635 crore
- C.Rs 1,941 crore
- D.Rs 2,350 crore
Correct answer
Explanation
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.
