(1) Train B leaves the station at 6:00.
Okay, but what if Train B travels slower than Train A. Then B will never overtake A. So, we need the speed of B as well alongwith time to solve this question.
(2) Train A travels at 5/6 the speed of train B.
Okay, but what if Train B starts when train A reaches the destination. Then B will never overtake A. So, we need the time of B as well alongwith speed to solve this question.
Hence, we can say that we can infer from the information (C) BOTH STATEMENTS TOGETHER CAN SOLVE THE QUESTION, BUT NO STATEMENT ALONE CAN DO THAT

(1) Train B leaves the station at 6:00. Insufficient
(2) Train A travels at 5/6 the speed of train B. Insufficient
Both statements are together sufficient to answer the ques.
IMO the correct answer is option C
