10. Two-way roads exist among the following
towns surrounding a mountain:
Between M and N
Between M and O
Between O and R
Between R and T
Between R and U
Between T and P
Between P and S
There is also a one-way road between
town P and town N; the permitted
direction of travel is from P to N.
None of these roads intersect each
other except at the towns.
There are no other towns or roads in
the vicinity.
Bicycles must follow the direction
established for general traffic on
roads.
To bicycle from S to N by road, it is
necessary to go to or through town
M
P
R
T
U
If a rock slide temporarily makes the road
between O and R impassable, then in order
to reach M by road from U, a bicyclist would
have to go to or through a total of how many
other towns besides M and U ?

If a bridge on the road between M and O
is washed out, making the road impassable,
a bicyclist would NOT be able to go by
road from
N to M
N to S
P to M
P to S
R to M
If a rock slide blocks a lane of the road from
R to T, with the result that travel on the road
can go only one way, from R to T, it will still be
possible to go on a bicycle by road from P to
N and/or S but impossible to go to M, O,
R , T, or U
N,S, and/or T but impossible to go to M,
O, R , or U
M,N, O, and/or T, but impossible to go
to S, R ,or U
M,O, R, S, and/or T but impossible to
go to N or U
M,N, O, R ,S, T, and/or U
Assume that one lane of the road from O toR
Isclosed for repairs, with the result that travel
on the road goes only one way, from R toO.
It will then be possible to travel by road on a
bicycle among any of the towns M, N, O, P,
R ,S, T, and U, among which such travel was
possible before the closing, if which of the
following one-way temporary roads is
constructed?
From M toU
From P to R
From S to R
From S to U
From T to U
IfM is lower and T is higher on the mountain
than any of the other towns in the vicinity and if
N, P, and R are all at the same altitude, the
distance by road going from U to S will be
shortened by building a two-way road along
a level straight line between
