Finding the Train with Minimum Vacant Seats

The question asks us to determine which train has the minimum number of vacant seats based on the information provided in the table. To do this, we need to calculate the number of vacant seats for each train listed in the options.

The number of vacant seats for any train can be found by subtracting the number of Reserved Seats from the Total Seats.

Vacant Seats = Total Seats - Reserved Seats

Let's calculate the vacant seats for the trains given in the options:

Comparing the number of vacant seats for the trains in the options:

• Train 1001: 280 vacant seats
• Train 1002: 320 vacant seats
• Train 1003: 300 vacant seats
• Train 1005: 260 vacant seats

By comparing these values ($280, 320, 300, 260$), we can see that the minimum number of vacant seats is 260.

This minimum number of vacant seats (260) corresponds to Train Number 1005.

Therefore, Train 1005 has the minimum number of vacant seats among the given options.

Additional Information: Understanding Train Data Tables

Data tables like the one provided are common in quantitative reasoning and data interpretation questions. They organize information about multiple entities (like trains) across various attributes (like distance, speed, fare, seats). To answer questions based on such tables, you often need to:

• Read the table headings carefully to understand what each column represents.
• Locate the specific rows or columns needed to answer the question.
• Perform calculations using the data (e.g., subtraction, addition, percentage, ratio) as required by the question.
• Compare values across different rows or columns to find maximums, minimums, differences, etc.

In this specific problem, understanding the terms 'Total Seats' and 'Reserved Seats' was key to calculating 'Vacant Seats'. Many data interpretation questions require simple arithmetic operations to derive the answer from the raw data presented in the table.
