The new tri-weekly train approved between Machilipatnam and Kurnool City will cover what distance?
- A.399 km
- B.449 km
- C.499 km
- D.549 km
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 499 km. The new service runs between Machilipatnam and Kurnool City by way of Vijayawada on South Coast Railway, and that is the distance the train covers between the two ends. Option A is wrong because the run is longer than that; the train crosses from the coastal belt of Andhra Pradesh into the interior of the state and picks up a dozen stops on the way. Option B is wrong for the same reason, and no such figure attaches to this route. Option D is wrong because the distance has not been stretched that far. It is worth remembering the stopping pattern too: Gudivada, Vijayawada, Narasaraopet, Vinukonda, Donakonda, Markapur Road, Cumbum, Giddalur, Diguvametta, Nandyal, Betamcherla and Dhone. The outward service runs on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday and the return service on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.
