Statement: The government has decided to pay compensation to the tune of Rs. 1 lakh to the family members of those who are killed in railway accidents.
Assumptions:
- The government has enough funds to meet the expenses due to compensation.
- There may be reduction in incidents of railway accidents in near future.
Answer: Option
