Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

rtA 48-SEAT bus with a light-alloy body has been produced by Simpson and Co., Ltd., Madras, for Rs.11,000, or Rs.1,000 less than the cost of a similar body built by the Indian Government coachbuilding factory at Chrompet. By the use of aluminium, manufactured from indigenous bauxite, it is claimed that about a ton of unladen weight is saved, compared with normal methods of construction.

The bus has an oil engine and has space for 12 standing passengers.
