Reaching Grandmother's House — Practice

Question 1

What transport did the family choose to reach grandmother's house? Why?

Accepted Answer

The family chose the TRAIN. It was cheaper than an aeroplane, more comfortable than a bus, and the station was nearby. It was the best balance of cost, comfort, and convenience.

Question 2

Why didn't the family take an aeroplane?

Accepted Answer

Flying was too expensive for the whole family. Aeroplanes are fast but costly. The family had to consider their budget — flying would have used too much money.

Question 3

If you had to travel from your home to a village 500 km away, which transport would you choose and why?

Accepted Answer

(Sample) I would choose a train because: (1) it's cheaper than flying, (2) 500 km is a comfortable overnight train distance, (3) trains are comfortable with seats/berths and food available. A bus would be too tiring for such a long distance.

Question 4

Why did the family use a bullock cart for the last part of the journey?

Accepted Answer

The bullock cart was used because grandmother's village had narrow, unpaved paths where buses and cars couldn't go. The bullock cart is traditional village transport that works on muddy, uneven roads. It's the perfect 'last mile' solution in rural areas.

Question 5

You are planning a trip from Delhi to Mumbai with your family of 4. Compare train vs flight — considering cost, time, and experience.

Accepted Answer

Flight: about 2 hours, costs approximately ₹4000-6000 per person (₹20000 for family), fast but you miss all the scenery, and you need to reach the airport early. Train: about 16-24 hours, costs ₹1000-2000 per person (₹6000 for family), slower but much cheaper, you see India's changing landscapes, eat at stations, and experience the journey. For a budget-conscious family, train is the better choice. For those with less time, flight works.
