Direction: Read the following passage and solve the questions based o...
The only train passing via Chandigarh is the one from Ernakulam to Kolkata.
Thus two trains pass via Nagpur (terminate in Kolkata(1), and remaining four trains pass via Trivandrum (terminate in Ranchi).
Now the trains originating from Ahmedabad and Faridabad terminate at the same station (Ranchi) and hence pass via the same station (Trivandrum), as well.
Also the train starting from Delhi will terminate in Ranchi and pass via Trivandrum.
Since the Bangalore train traveled via Nagpur to Kolkata, the Garia train must have travelled to Ranchi, via Trivandrum.
Hence, the correct option is (c).
