Question

The speeds of two trains, P and Q, are in the ratio of 4:5. The length of train P is 300 meters. What is the speed of train Q? Statement I: Trains P and Q can cross each other in 20 seconds when they are moving in opposite directions. Statement II: Train P can cross a dog running in the opposite direction at a speed of 10 km/h in 20 seconds.

Q: Answer-The speeds of two trains, P and Q, are in the ratio of 4:5. The length of train P is 300 meters. Wha...

ATQ, Let the speed of trains P and Q be 4x kmhr and 5x kmhr, respectively Statement I According to the question, Let the length of train Q be l metres 4x 5x 518 300 l20 Or, 100x 600 2l So, data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question. Statement II 4x 10 518 30020 Or, 20x 50 18 15 270 Or, 20x 220 Or, x 11 Therefore, speed of train Q 5x 55 kmhr So, data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. So, 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

The question consists of two statements numbered "l and II" given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question.

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.
