Question

The question below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read both the statements and give answer
A train crosses a signal post in X seconds. What is the length of the train?
I. The train crosses a platform of 100 meters in Y seconds.
II. The train is running at the speed of 80 km/hr.

• A. 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.
• B. 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.
• C. the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
• D. the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

Answer 2

Let's analyze each statement:
Statement I: The train crosses a 100-meter platform in 𝑌 Y seconds but doesn't provide the time to cross a signal post or the train's speed.
Statement II: The train's speed is 80 km/h but no time is given for crossing a signal post or platform.
Even together, these statements don't provide enough information to calculate the train's length.
So, the correct option is (D): Both statements together are not sufficient to answer the question.
