1. 

Two towns are connected by railway. Can you find the distance between them ?

I. The speed of mail train is 12 km / hr more than that of an express train ?

II. A mail train takes 40 minutes less than an express train to cover the distance.

A. I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer
B. II alone sufficient while I alone not sufficient to answer
C. Either I or II alone sufficient to answer
D. Both I and II are not sufficient to answer
E. Both I and II are necessary to answer

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let the distance between the two stations be x km.

 I. Then, speed of the mail train = (y + 12) km/hr.

II. x - x = 40 .
y (y + 12) 60

Thus, even I and II together do not give x.

Correct answer is (D).
