    Let the length of platform = x m
    and train length = 280 m (given)
    According to Question

    x + 280
    =
    280
    6020

    ∴ x = 560 m.

    Correct Option: D

    Let the length of platform = x m
    and train length = 280 m (given)
    According to Question

    x + 280
    =
    280
    6020

    ∴ x = 560 m.

  1. A man can row at 8 km per hour in still water. If it takes him thrice as long to row upstream, as to row downstream, then find the stream velocity in km per hour.









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Speed of man = 8;
    Left distance = d
    Time taken = 8/d
    Upstream: Speed of stream = s
    ⇒ speed upstream = S’ = (8 – s)

    t' =
    d
    8 - s

    Downstream:
    Given speed downstream = t" =
    d
    8 + s

    ⇒ 3t' = t"
    3d
    =
    d
    8 - s8 + s

    ⇒ s = 4 Km/hr

    Correct Option: A

    Speed of man = 8;
    Left distance = d
    Time taken = 8/d
    Upstream: Speed of stream = s
    ⇒ speed upstream = S’ = (8 – s)

    t' =
    d
    8 - s

    Downstream:
    Given speed downstream = t" =
    d
    8 + s

    ⇒ 3t' = t"
    3d
    =
    d
    8 - s8 + s

    ⇒ s = 4 Km/hr
