Speed of train = Length of (train + platform) Time taken to crossing = (50 + 100) 10 = 150 = 15 m/sec 10 Correct Option: C
Speed of train = Length of (train + platform) Time taken to crossing = (50 + 100) 10 = 150 = 15 m/sec 10

36 kmph = 36 × 5 m/sec. 18
= 10 m/sec.Required time = 270 + 180 10
= 45 secondsCorrect Option: B
36 kmph = 36 × 5 m/sec. 18
= 10 m/sec.Required time = 270 + 180 10
= 45 seconds
- A train 200 m long running at 36 kmph takes 55 seconds to cross a bridge. The length of the bridge is

Speed of train = 36kmph
= 36 × 5 = 10 m/sec. 18
If the length of bridge be x metre, then10 = 200 + x 55
⇒ 200 + x = 550
⇒ x = 550 – 200 = 350 metre.
Second Method :
Here, x = 200 mu = 36 km/hr, 36 × 5 m/second = 10 m/sec 18
y = ?, t = 55 sec
usingt = x + y u 55 = 200 + y 10
y = 550 – 200
y = 350 mCorrect Option: C

Speed of train = Length of (train + platform) Time taken to cross = 500 + 700 feet/second = 120 feet/second 10
Second Method :
Here, x = 500 feet, y = 700 feet
t = 10 seconds, u = ?
usingt = x + y u u = 500 + 700 10
= 120ft/secondCorrect Option: D
Speed of train = Length of (train + platform) Time taken to cross = 500 + 700 feet/second = 120 feet/second 10
Second Method :
Here, x = 500 feet, y = 700 feet
t = 10 seconds, u = ?
usingt = x + y u u = 500 + 700 10
= 120ft/second
