can anyone help me with this question:
Trancorp currently transports all its goods to Burland
Island by truck. The only bridge over the channel
separating Burland from the mainland is congested,
and trucks typically spend hours in traffi c. Trains can
reach the channel more quickly than trucks, and
freight cars can be transported to Burland by barges
that typically cross the channel in an hour. Therefore,
to reduce shipping time, Trancorp plans to switch to
trains and barges to transport goods to Burland.
Which of the following would be most important to
know in determining whether Trancorp's plan, if
implemented, is likely to achieve its goal?
(A) Whether transportation by train and barge would
be substantially less expensive than
transportation by truck
(B) Whether there are boats that can make the trip
between the mainland and Burland faster than
barges can
(C) Whether loading the freight cars onto barges is
very time consuming
(D) Whether the average number of vehicles
traveling over the bridge into Burland has been
relatively constant in recent years
(E) Whether most trucks transporting goods into Burland return to the mainland empty
Why not B??why C??boat can be used to make the trip if it is found that it is faster than train and burges. So it is important to know in determining whether Trancorp's plan, if
implemented, is likely to achieve its goal.
Please let me explain me.. I got stuck !!
