Trains depart after every 4 minutes.
Total time train takes to complete a circuit= 24 minutes
Evan sets off at 8:30 am, so he will be back at 8:54 am.
So time of trains coming in opposite direction:
8: 34 am
8:38 am
8:42 am
8:46 am
and 8:50 am
5 trains coming in opposite directions.
Now the trains started at 8:06 am from the stations are:
8:06 am
8:10 am
8:14 am
8:18 am
8:22 am
and 8:26 am.
So there are 6 trains started the circuit at 8:06 am.
Now total number of trains=6+5=11 trains
Answer: 11 trains will pass on complete circuit.

12 - 4 + 20 - 16 - 32
32 - 48 = -20
No:
23 - 8 + 21 - 7 + 2 - 6 = 25
