Question: Directions: Each question consists of a question and two statements I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the questions. Read both the statements and choose the appropriate option. [IBPS (PO) 2014]
What is the speed of the train?
I. A train crosses another train coming from opposite direction at the speed of 45 km/h in 20 s.
II. The train crosses another train running in the same direction at the speed of 42 km/h in 1 m 18 s.
Options:
A) The data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question
B) The data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question
C) The data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question
D) The data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question
E) The data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: E
Solution:
- From I and II, the length of train is not given. So, we cannot determine the speed of the train. Hence, statements I and II are not sufficient to answer the question.
