Question

    A train 180 meters long is moving at a speed of 72 km/h.

    How long will it take to cross a platform 120 meters long?
    A 10 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 12 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 14 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 15 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 18 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of the train = 72 km/h = (72 ├Ч 1000) / 3600 = 20 m/s. The total distance to be covered = Length of the train + Length of the platform = 180 + 120 = 300 meters. Time = Distance / Speed = 300 / 20 = 15 seconds. Thus, the train will take 15 seconds to cross the platform. Correct option: d
