Video Summary

Jane is traveling on a train, sitting in the 50th compartment from the engine, in the 7th coach, with each coach having the same number of compartments. To determine the number of compartments per coach, if each coach had 7 compartments, Jane would be in coach 8. Testing 8 compartments, the 6 coaches contain 48 compartments, placing compartment 49 at the start of coach 7. Therefore, Jane is in the 2nd compartment of the 7th coach, confirming each coach has 8 compartments. The answer is 8 compartments per coach.
