You are given a question and two statements. State which statement is necessary/sufficient to answer the question. Question: Is the sea route between Mumbai and Muscat much cheaper than the road route? Statements: 1. There are multiple sea and road routes available between Mumbai and Muscat. 2. Travelling by sea is the fastest way of reaching Muscat from Mumbai Correct Answer Both statements 1 and 2 together are not sufficient.
- The number of routes by sea or road is not sufficient to determine the faster mode of transport between Muscat and Mumbai.
Therefore, statement 1 alone is not sufficient.
- Reaching quickly from Mumbai to Muscat does not necessarily make the travel less expensive.
Therefore, statement 2 alone is not sufficient.
- When statements 1 and 2 are combined together, we cannot compare the expense of travelling via sea or road as neither statement offers any information to conclude this.
Hence, "option 1" is the correct answer.
