Correct Answer:
C. 100 kmph 30 years
Explanation:
The correct answer is 100 kmph and 30 years (Option c).
The BVZI is an 8-wheeled, high-speed brake van designed for Indian Railways freight operations. It is equipped with cast steel ICF fabricated bogies and a sophisticated suspension system that provides ride comfort comparable to passenger locomotives. According to official technical specifications, the BVZI has a maximum permissible speed of 100 kmph in both loaded and empty conditions.
Regarding its longevity, the codal life of a railway asset refers to its estimated functional lifespan for depreciation and replacement purposes. For bogie wagons and specialized freight stock like the BVZI, the established codal life is 30 years. This duration ensures that the vehicle remains safe and efficient for long-term service before requiring decommissioning or major rehabilitation.
