If the cost of laying cable under water is Rs. 5 per meter and that of laying overhead on land is Rs. 4 per meter, find the point downstream where the cable is to cut across the river.
(a) 450
(b) 3900
(c) 1800
(d) 2100
(e) 2700

tht point downstream where the cable is to cut across the river = 3000-900=2100
