Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

AN offer of 100 "good as new" double-deck London Transport buses is being considered by the Ceylon Transport Board. Mr. Vere de Mel, chairman of the Board, said last week that he had been recommended to accept the offer, as the buses would be delivered for half price which was "a wonderful bargain."

"We should close the deal without delay or the chance will -be lost," he said. "Taking into consideration the Middle East situation, it is essential that these buses are shipped out almost immediately."

The Ceylon Ministry of Finance is to be asked. to approve the purchase of a total of 200 buses-110 altogether from London Transport and 164 with MercedesBenz chassis, plus 26 other units. The total cost will be about £525,000.
