Statement III∶ The train can cross the platform of stations between Delhi and Agra in 10 seconds each. Correct Answer statement I and statement II are sufficient
Statement I
Let time without stoppages be x
Speed
⇒ 500/x
Statement II
⇒ (2 + 4 + 6 + 8…. + 100)/60 hours
⇒ 50 × (51/60)
⇒ 42.5 hours
X = 52.8 – 42.5
⇒ 10 hours
Required speed
⇒ 500/10
⇒ 50 kmph
Statement III
The data for train crossing a platform is not required here.
∴ statement I and statement II are sufficient to answer the question
