    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    The first train in India (and Asia) ran over a short distance of 34 kilometres (21 miles) on 16 April 1853 between Bombay and Thane. Hauled by three engines — Sindh, Sahib and Sultan — the original train had fourteen coaches and 400 guests as passengers. It left Bombay at 3:35 pm and reached Thane in 57 minutes.
