Question

    A train running with a speed of 108 km/hr can cross a

    pole in 22 seconds and a platform in 25 seconds. Find the length of the platform.
    A 92 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 93 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 90 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 95 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of the train = 108 × (5/18) = 30 m/sec Length of the train = 30 × 22 = 660 metres Let the length of the platform be ‘x’ metres Therefore, 660 + x = 30 × 25 Or, x = 750 – 660 = 90 metres
