Statement: The Central Railway (CR) has decided to block foot overbridges (FOBs) at Mumbai's railway stations for short time spans during the monsoon if they get overcrowded. Which of the following objection(s) may be a probable reason(s) for the above-taken step by the Central Railway? I. To prevent stampedes. II. To prevent overcrowdedness. III.

The correct answer is option 2, i.e. Only I and II.

The given statement deals about the stampede on the Elphinstone Road station FOB claimed 23 lives last monsoon. In view of the previous incident, the Central Railway has decided to block foot overbridges for short time spans during the monsoon if they get overcrowded to avoid such incidents. Option II talks about the same problem as to if there are too many people in a particular place it might lead to a stampede. Other options are vague and in no sense make relevance with the given statement.

Thus, the most appropriate answer is option 2 and rest of the options can be eliminated.

There is only one rail track between stations A and B on a railway line. One hour after the northbound superfast train N leaves station A for station B, the southbound passenger train S reaches station A from station B. The speed of superfast train is twice that of express train E, while the speed of passenger train S is half of that of train E. On some one day train N leaves from station A to station B 20 minutes late than its usual schedule. Both Train N and Train S have increased their speed to maintain the schedule as per the table. If the superfast train doubles its speed, then what should be the ratio (approximately) of the speed of the passenger train to the speed of the superfast train so that the passenger train reaches the station on that day at the exact scheduled time.
