    in 3 min. Find the speed of the train.
    A 4 m/s Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 5 m/s Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 6 m/s Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 7 m/s Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of train = (Length of train + Length of Platform)/Required time Length of train = 360 m Crossing time of platform = 3 × 60 = 180 sec Length of platform = 360 × 2 = 720 m Let the speed of train be x. Speed of train = (360 + 720)/180 ⇒  x = 6 m/s
