4. A 1000 mm diameter pipeline can be installed for Rs. 2 lacs. The annual operating and maintenance cost is estimated at Rs. 40000/-. An alternative 750 mm diameter pipeline can be installed at Rs. 1.6 lacs. Its annual operating and maintenance cost is estimated at Rs. 60000/-. Either pipeline is expected to serve for 35 years, with 7% salvage when replaced. Compare the two pipelines assuming a 15% rate of interest. (20)
