Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A), (B) and (D) only
As transport systems develop, places are linked together and form a network. A network is made up of nodes (points) and links (the roads between them).
(A) Node is the meeting point of two or more routes. — True. A node is the meeting point of two or more routes. A point of origin, a point of destination or any sizeable town along a route is also a node.
(B) A road joining two nodes is called link. — True. Every road that joins two nodes is called a link.
(C) A well established network has limited nodes and links. — False. A developed network has many links, which means that its places are well-connected. NTA changed “many links” to “limited nodes and links”, and a true line became false. Read every word before you mark the answer.
(D) In network, different places are linked together. — True. A network forms when different places are linked together by transport routes.
