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
