The correct Answer is:
To determine the speed of the train in kilometers per hour, we will analyze the two statements provided and see which one is necessary to answer the question. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I - **Statement I**: The train crosses a person walking in the same direction in 10 seconds. - Here, we know the time taken to cross a person, but we do not have the distance covered by the train while crossing that person. - Since speed is calculated as distance divided by time (Speed = Distance/Time), we cannot determine the speed of the train with this statement alone. **Conclusion from Step 1**: Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement II - **Statement II**: The train crosses a 200 m long platform in 20 seconds. - In this case, we have both the distance (200 meters) and the time (20 seconds) provided. - We can calculate the speed of the train using the formula: \[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{200 \text{ meters}}{20 \text{ seconds}} = 10 \text{ meters per second} \] - To convert this speed into kilometers per hour, we use the conversion factor (1 m/s = 3.6 km/h): \[ 10 \text{ m/s} \times 3.6 = 36 \text{ km/h} \] **Conclusion from Step 2**: Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. ### Final Conclusion - **Statement I** is not sufficient to determine the speed of the train. - **Statement II** is sufficient to determine the speed of the train. - Therefore, the answer is that only Statement II is necessary to answer the question.
