Finance, and Operations Management (OM) areas respectively, to start with. No faculty member retired or joined the institute in the first three

members, who joined the institute subsequently over the years, were 25 years old at the time of their joining the institute. All of them joined the
institute on April 1. During these four years, one of the faculty members retired at the age of 60. The following diagram gives the area-wise average
age (in terms of number of completed years) of faculty members as on April 1 of 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003.

Directions for Questions from 5 to 8:

Answer question on the basis of the information given below.

A significant amount of traffic flows from point S to point T in the one-way street network shown below. Points A, B, C, and D are junctions in the
network, and the arrows mark the direction of traffic flow. The fuel cost in rupees for travelling along a street is indicated by the number adjacent to
the arrow representing the street.

Motorists travelling from point S to point T would obviously take the route for which the total cost of travelling is the minimum. If two or more routes
have the same least travel cost, then motorists are indifferent between them. Hence, the traffic gets evenly distributed among all the least cost
routes.

The government can control the flow of traffic only by levying appropriate toll at each junction. For example, if a motorist takes the route S-A-T
(using junction A alone), then the total cost of travel would be Rs 14 (i.e. Rs 9 + Rs 5) plus the toll charged at junction A.

5. The government wants to devise a toll policy such that the total cost to the commuters per trip is minimized. The policy should also ensure that not
more than 70 per cent of the total traffic passes through junction B. The cost incurred by the commuter travelling from point S to point T under this
policy will be:
