Speed of train = 54 kmph
= 54 × 5 m/sec. 18
= 15 m/sec.∴ Required time = Length of train and bridge Speed of train = 200 + 175 seconds 15 = 375 seconds 15
= 25 secondsCorrect Option: C

Speed of train = Length of platform and train Time taken in crossing = 221 + 500 metre/second 35 = 721 metre/second 35 = 721 × 18 kmph 35 × 5
= 74.16 kmphCorrect Option: B
Speed of train = Length of platform and train Time taken in crossing = 221 + 500 metre/second 35 = 721 metre/second 35 = 721 × 18 kmph 35 × 5
= 74.16 kmph
- The lengths of a train and that of a platform are equal. If with a speed of 90 km/hr the train
crosses the platform in one minute, then the length of the train (in metres) is

Let, length of train = length of platform = x metre
Speed of train = 90 kmph= 90 × 5 m/sec. 18
= 25 m/sec.∴ Speed of train = Length of platform and train Time taken in crossing ⇒ 25 = 2x ⇒ 2x = 25 × 60 60 ⇒ x = 25 × 60 = 750 metre 2 Correct Option: C
Let, length of train = length of platform = x metre
Speed of train = 90 kmph= 90 × 5 m/sec. 18
= 25 m/sec.∴ Speed of train = Length of platform and train Time taken in crossing ⇒ 25 = 2x ⇒ 2x = 25 × 60 60 ⇒ x = 25 × 60 = 750 metre 2
- A moving train passes a platform 50 metre long in 14 seconds and a lamp post in 10 seconds. The speed of the train (in km/h) is :

Let the length of train be x metre.
When a train crosses a platform, distance covered by it = length of train and platform.∴ Speed of train = x + 50 = x 14 10 ⇒ x + 50 = x 7 5
⇒ 7x = 5x + 250
⇒ 7x – 5x = 250⇒ 2x = 250 ⇒ x = 250 = 125 metre 2 ∴ Speed of train = x 10 = 125 m./sec. 10 = 125 × 18 kmph 10 5
= 45 kmphCorrect Option: D

Speed of train = length of platform and train Time taken in crossing = 450 + 150 m/sec. 20 = 600 m/sec. 20 = 30 × 18 kmph 5
= 108 kmph.Correct Option: A
Speed of train = length of platform and train Time taken in crossing = 450 + 150 m/sec. 20 = 600 m/sec. 20 = 30 × 18 kmph 5
= 108 kmph.
