    Question

    In this question, a passage and a statement related to it have been given. Read carefully the verse and review the statement based on it. According to the National Monetary Authority (NMA), the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and the Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation (Maharashtra-Metro), decided to change the alignment of the Metro project on Ahmednagar Road to protect the Aga Khan Palace. So now the cost of the project will increase to Rs 50 crore for civil works, and the length of the corridor will increase to 900 meters. Metro officials Atul Gadgil and Prakash Waghmare informed the media on Friday about the decision. "There will be some changes in the Metro corridor near Aga Khan Palace and the length of the route will now increase to 900 meters," the Metro official confirmed this. PMC is yet to give final approval for the planned route.

    Statement. The construction of the Metro project will be

    around 50 crore rupees. Select one of the following options.
    A The statement is definitely true. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B The statement is probably true. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Statement cannot be determined Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Statement is definitely wrong. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let's analyze the information provided:

    1. The alignment of the Metro project on Ahmednagar Road is being changed to protect the Aga Khan Palace.
    2. As a result of this alignment change, the cost of the project for civil works will increase to Rs 50 crore.
    3. The length of the corridor will increase to 900 meters due to these changes.
    Now, let's focus on the statement: "The construction of the Metro project will be around 50 crore rupees."         While the information provided states that the cost of civil works will increase to Rs 50 crore, it doesn't necessarily mean that the entire construction cost of the Metro project will be around 50 crore rupees. There could be other costs involved such as land acquisition, infrastructure, stations, administrative expenses, etc., which are not specified in the given information. Therefore, based on the provided information, we cannot definitively determine the overall construction cost of the Metro project. Hence, the correct answer is: (d) Statement is definitely wrong.
