Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: Boat
Concept: Route & Network Path Analysis.

Formula: N/A

Solution:

  • Path from Q to P can be traveled by Boat or Rail.


  • Path from P to R can be traveled only by Boat.


  • Therefore, taking a Boat continuously along the route Q \(\to\) P \(\to\) R allows one to reach R without changing transport modes.


Why other options are incorrect:

Options B, C, and D: Discontinue at node P because P to R is strictly restricted to boat transport.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
