    Question

    A train takes 10 seconds more to cross a 250-metre-long

    platform than it takes to cross a pole. If a car running at the speed of 40 m/s takes 55 seconds to completely overtake the train, then find the length of the train.
    A 660 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 560 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 825 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 720 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, The extra 10 seconds is taken by train to cross the platform, therefore Speed of the train = 250 ÷ 10 = 25 m/s So, relative speed of the car with respect to the train = 40 - 25 = 15 m/s (Since, both are travelling in same direction) Therefore, length of the train = 15 × 55 = 825 metres
