Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : C

Given:

Distance covered on Sunday

Bus 1 = 490, Bus 2 = 550, Bus 3 = 525, Bus 4 = 600

Distance covered on Saturday

Bus 1 = 500, Bus 2 = 500, Bus 3 = 500, Bus 4 = 550

Distance covered on Monday

Bus 1 = 510, Bus 2 = 600, Bus 3 = 600, Bus 4 = 600

Distance covered on Tuesday

Bus 1 = 700, Bus 2 = 400, Bus 3 = 700, Bus 4 = 500

Calculation:

Distance covered on Sunday

⇒ 490 + 550 + 525 + 600

⇒ 2165

Distance covered on Saturday

⇒ 500 + 500 + 500 + 550

⇒ 2050

Distance covered on Monday

⇒ 510 + 600 + 600 + 600

⇒ 2310

Distance covered on Tuesday

⇒ 700 + 400 + 700 + 500

⇒ 2300

∴ The maximum distance covered by all buses is on Monday.
