| Answer: Option D |
|
|
| Explanation: |
|
Time taken by train to cross a man = |
Length of train |
Speed = |
l |
....(i) |
Speed of train |
9 |
Time taken by train to cross a platform = |
(Length of train + Length of platform) |
Speed = |
l + 240 |
....(ii) |
Speed of train |
24 |
From (i) and (ii), we get |
l |
= |
l + 240 |
. |
9 |
24 |
Thus, l can be obtained. So both I and II are necessary to get the answer.
The correct answer is (D). |
