The given question consists of a set of statements. Find out whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question and mark the option:
What is the speed of the passenger train?
I. The train crosses a signal pole in 27 seconds.
II. The train crosses a platform of equal length in 54 seconds.
III. Length of the train is 495 metres.
III and either I or II only
Let the speed of the train be 'x' m/sec.
Time taken to cross a signal pole =Length of trainSpeed of train
Time taken to cross a platform =(Length of train+Length of platform)Speed of the train
Length of train = 495 m
I and III give,27=495x⇒x=49527m/s=553m/s.II and III give,54=2×495x⇒x=99054m/s=553m/s.
