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.

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.

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