What distance will the new tri-weekly Amrit Bharat Express between Bhuj and Barauni cover?
- A.1,532 km
- B.2,532 km
- C.3,252 km
- D.2,352 km
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 2,532 km. The new service approved by Indian Railways connects Bhuj in Gujarat with Barauni in Bihar and covers that distance while passing through Gujarat, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, which makes it one of the longer runs given to a train of the Amrit Bharat class. The train runs as number 19427 from Bhuj, departing at 17:30 and reaching Barauni at 04:05, and as number 19428 in the return direction, leaving Barauni at 23:55 and arriving at Bhuj at 13:15. The other three options are near-miss figures of the kind an examiner places to catch a candidate who half remembers the number, since the digits are the same but rearranged. Note also that the service is tri-weekly, running three days a week in each direction rather than daily.
