Let the length of the train be x.
∴ Speed of the train = x + 300 = x + 240 21 18 ⇒ x + 300 = x + 240 7 6
⇒ 7x + 1680 = 6x + 1800
⇒ x = 120∴ Speed of the train = x + 300 = 420 = 20 m/sec 21 21 = 20 × 18 kmph = 72 kmph 5 Correct Option: A

Let the Length of the train be x
Then, x + 162 = x + 120 18 15
(Speed of the train)⇒ x + 162 = x + 120 6 5
⇒ 6x + 720 = 5x + 810
⇒ x = 810 – 720 = 90∴ Speed of the train = 90 + 162 m/sec. 18 = 252 × 18 kmph 18 5
= 50.4 kmphCorrect Option: C

Let the length of the train be x
According to the question,x + 122 = x + 210 17 25
⇒ 25x + 3050 = 17x + 3570
⇒ 25x – 17x = 3570 – 3050
⇒ 8x = 520⇒ x = 520 = 65 metres 8 ∴ Speed of the train = 65 + 122 17 = 187 metre/second 17
= 11 metre/second= 11 × 18 kmph 5
= 39.6 kmphCorrect Option: D

Speed of train = 90 kmph
= 90 × 5 = 25 m/sec 18
Distance covered
= 230 + 120 = 350 m∴ Time taken = 350 = 14 seconds 25 Correct Option: D
