@Swetha: My probability of reaching any train station by 5:00 a.m is zero. So I would never catch the first train. Now if the trains started at 8 or 9 a.m., then I might have some probability of catching the first one. :-)
(In case it isn't obvious, I'm focusing on the wording of the question at the end of the puzzle. It would be better if it asked for the probability of catching a train on the main line instead of asking about the probability of catching the first train, which leaves at 5:00 a.m.) Dave On Aug 31, 8:37 am, swetha rahul <swetharahu...@gmail.com> wrote: > In a railway station, there are two trains going.
