The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the speed of a train that crosses a standing bus in 20 seconds. We have three pieces of information to consider: 1. Length of the train (L_train) 2. Length of the bus (L_bus) 3. Speed of the bus (S_bus) ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Understand the scenario.** - The train is moving with a uniform speed and crosses a standing bus. The time taken to cross the bus is given as 20 seconds. **Step 2: Identify what is needed to find the speed of the train.** - The speed of the train can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \] - In this case, the distance covered by the train while crossing the bus is the sum of the lengths of the train and the bus: \[ \text{Distance} = L_{\text{train}} + L_{\text{bus}} \] **Step 3: Set up the equation using the given time.** - The time taken to cross the bus is 20 seconds, so we can express the speed of the train as: \[ \text{Speed of the train} = \frac{L_{\text{train}} + L_{\text{bus}}}{20} \] **Step 4: Analyze the information provided.** - **Information 1 (Length of the train)**: This is necessary to calculate the distance. - **Information 2 (Length of the bus)**: This is also necessary to calculate the distance. - **Information 3 (Speed of the bus)**: This is not necessary since the bus is standing still; its speed does not affect the calculation of the train's speed. **Step 5: Conclusion.** - To find the speed of the train, we need both the length of the train and the length of the bus. Therefore, we can conclude that: - The question can be answered using **Information 1 and Information 2**. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is that we need **Information 1 and Information 2** to determine the speed of the train. ---
