A freight train traveled from North Terminal to East Terminal at a constant speed, without making any stops. At what time did the train arrive at East Terminal?
(1) The train departed North Terminal at 1:50 p.m.
Knowing only that the train departed at 1:50 p.m. is not enough to determine the arrival time.
Not sufficient.
(2) At 3:20 p.m., the train had completed 1/2 of the trip, and at 3:50 p.m., it had completed 2/3 of the trip.
From 3:20 p.m. to 3:50 p.m., the train went from 1/2 of the trip to 2/3 of the trip. That is 2/3 - 1/2 = 1/6 of the trip in 30 minutes. So the full trip takes 6 * 30 = 180 minutes. If the train had completed 1/2 of the trip by 3:20 p.m., then it had 1/2 of the trip left, which would take 90 more minutes. So the train arrived at 3:20 p.m. + 1.5 hours = 4:50 p.m.
Sufficient.

Constant speed → distance ∝ time
---
Statement (2):
At 3:20 → 1/2 of trip
At 3:50 → 2/3 of trip
So in 30 minutes:
distance covered = (2/3 − 1/2) = 1/6
⇒ 1/6 distance = 30 minutes
Total trip = 6 × 30 = 180 minutes = 3 hours
So from 3:20 (halfway), remaining half takes 1.5 hours
Arrival time = 3:20 + 1:30 = 4:50 p.m.
⇒ Statement (2) alone is sufficient
---
Statement (1):
Given only departure time = 1:50 p.m.
No info about speed or distance
⇒ Not sufficient

Final Answer: B
