The given problem involves analyzing the placement of ATMs on a network of roads and identifying which of the given statements is definitely true. To solve the problem, let's use the provided details and verify each statement systematically.
First, consider the information given:
- R-A, R-B, and R-C are horizontal roads, and V1, V2, and V3 are vertical roads.
- Total cash requirement on R-A is 22 Lakhs.
- The ATMs with the minimum (7 Lakhs) and maximum (15 Lakhs) cash requirements are on the same road.
- The distance between the ATM with the second highest requirement and the ATM at the R-C and V3 intersection is 12 km.
Let's analyze each statement:
Statement A: Each of R-A, R-B, and R-C has two ATMs.
Statement B: Each of V1, V2, and V3 has two ATMs.
To verify, we need to place 6 ATMs on this 3x3 grid such that the conditions are satisfied.
Considering Statement A:
- R-A: Two possible known cash requirements are 7 and 15 Lakhs (if they are on R-A), as they must be on the same road.
- Total cash requirement for R-A is 22 Lakhs; hence, 7 and 15 fit perfectly, confirming two ATMs on R-A.
- For R-B and R-C, distribute remaining cash requirements such that each road gets two ATMs.
Checking Statement B:
- If each of V1, V2, and V3 should have two ATMs, it's more challenging to fit the requirements without violating the condition that ATMs number 7 and 15 must be on the same road, especially when aligning with R-B and R-C configurations.
Next, evaluate the intersection of R-C and V3 and the road distance of 12 km from the second highest ATM:
- This places constraints that further make the second configuration less feasible for statement B.
Thus, Statement A holds true logically without contradiction, while Statement B does not necessarily meet all the conditions definitively across all scenarios.
Correct option: Only Statement A
