पर्याय

• Only (P) and (Q)

• Only (P) and (R)

• Only (Q) and (S)

• Only (R) and (S)

Answer 1

Only (P) and (R)

Justification:

Roadways are cheaper and more convenient for short-distance travel, making statement (P) correct. They also provide door-to-door service, which railways cannot, so (R) is correct.
However, heavy and bulky goods are better transported by railways, so (Q) is incorrect. The statement about road accidents being less than rail accidents is also incorrect, making (S) false.
