Brown states that this temple, standing high on its base, has a porch on its western side accessible by stairs, and it is here that the designer reached his greatest heights. The traditional combination of mandapa and vimana has not been abandoned, but the way in which all the sharp outward-facing architectural elements such as cornices, niches and porticoes have been arranged in an orderly and artistic manner is a sign of great skill. The three-tiered vimana, prominently displaying its gabled front and crowned with a sculpted cupola, reaches a total height of 95 feet. Around the broad platform at the base of the vimana are five subsidiary shrines carved from rock, each a reduced reproduction of the main theme. The hall measures 70 feet by 62 feet, with 16 square cells in groups of four producing the effect of a diagonal central gallery of great dignity. On either side of Nandi stand two flagpoles 51 feet high, marking an important stage in the development of the Dravidian style. The depiction of Ravana shaking Mount Kailash is particularly noteworthy.
Which of the following statements is true?
The true statement is that slightly fewer than twice as many travelled by bus as by car, so that is the answer.
The bus was used by 35 people and the car by 18 people.
Twice the car figure is 2 times 18, which is 36.
The bus figure of 35 is just below this 36.
So the bus users are slightly fewer than twice the car users.
The other statements do not match these numbers.
So the answer is that slightly fewer than twice as many travelled by bus as by car.
