Here are the solutions to the problems:

  1. Calculate the total cost for Option 1 (Via the N2).

    The distance is 195 km195 \text{ km}.
    The total toll fee cost is R112.00\text{R}112.00.
    Since no other costs are specified for this route, the total cost for Option 1 is the toll fee.

    Total Cost (Option 1)=R112.00\text{Total Cost (Option 1)} = \text{R}112.00
  2. Calculate the total cost for Option 2 (Via the R56).

    The distance is 260 km260 \text{ km}.
    There are no toll fees for this route.
    The vehicle's running cost (excluding fuel) is R3.50\text{R}3.50 per km.
    The fuel cost is R1.75\text{R}1.75 per km.
    First, calculate the combined cost per kilometre for Option 2:

    Cost per km (Option 2)=R3.50/km+R1.75/km=R5.25/km\text{Cost per km (Option 2)} = \text{R}3.50/\text{km} + \text{R}1.75/\text{km} = \text{R}5.25/\text{km}

    Now, calculate the total cost for Option 2 by multiplying the cost per kilometre by the distance:

    Total Cost (Option 2)=R5.25/km×260 km=R1365.00\text{Total Cost (Option 2)} = \text{R}5.25/\text{km} \times 260 \text{ km} = \text{R}1365.00
  3. Compare the total costs and justify the most cost-effective route.

    Total Cost (Option 1) = R112.00\text{R}112.00
    Total Cost (Option 2) = R1365.00\text{R}1365.00
    Since R112.00\text{R}112.00 is significantly less than R1365.00\text{R}1365.00, Option 1 is the most cost-effective route.
    The most cost-effective route for the company is Option 1 (Via the N2)\boxed{\text{Option 1 (Via the N2)}}.

This question requires "Annexure B" (a stadium layout) which is not provided in the image. Without Annexure B, it is not possible to determine the name of the seating section an official would be facing when entering through the West VIP Entrance and walking towards the soccer pitch.
