@Nishant.
Did you read the last part of the sentence it says that " This will lead to a saving of Rs. 7.92 crores per annum on "FUEL".
It means that the statement is not also talking about money but abstractly speaking they are going to save also the "FUEL".

The statement clearly mentions that travelling by sea will lead to a saving of Rs.7.92 crores p.a. on fuel. And in the light of the statement we can assert that Transportation by sea is cheaper than that by road.

As per statement saving of fuel will occur only when sea route is followed. So its OK with second conclusion but with first conclusion that is not sufficient to tell whether it is cheap or not.

If we can read the last paragraph which is this will lead to a saving of Rs 7.92 crores per annum on fuel. It means it talks about fuel not on the fare of transportation or involving money.

@All.
But we have to reach to conclusion only by given statements. We do not consider what is generally true or false in real life.
Therefore both should be true.

I do feel both the conclusions are correct. As the sea transportation is cheaper than road also gives correct conclusion about statement answer must be option E.

According to me, only 2 follows because they didn't mention any financial matters in road transport as compared to sea transport. So only 2 follows.

Here we can save fuel so second option is true but due to after reducing the distance the traveling become cheaper. So the both options are true.

It should be either 1 and 2 because the question don't describe about a specific or normal case.

But here are we taking about general case or about specific case. It should be A.
