Question

A train 130 meters long travelling at 54 km/hr crosses the bridge in 30 sec. Then the length of the bridge is:

A 320 meters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 350 meters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 325 meters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 375 meters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Speed of train = 54 km/hr = 54 × (5/18) m/s = 15 m/s When a train crosses a bridge, it travels a distance equal to its own length and the length of the bridge. Since the train crosses a bridge in 30 sec, Distance traveled by train = 30 × 15 = 450 m ∴ Length of train + Length of bridge = 450 ⇒ Length of bridge = 450 – 130 = 320 m
