Answer is B because normally leaves on time does not guarantee that train today leaves on time so Statement I is wrong.
Statement 2 is correct because it gives the time of scheduled departure means train depart at that time.
Statement 2 is correct because it gives the time of scheduled departure means train depart at that time.

@Vaishnavi and Vaibhav, statement I says:
The train 'normally' leaves on time. This means there are day, however rare, when the train doesn't depart on time. It doesn't mention if 'today' is among those normal or rare days.

It does not reveal exact time of departure because we don't know its 14:30 is AM or PM.

Option E may be the answer as it leaves at 14:30 and it departs on time.
