Question

Train ‘A’ can cross a pole in 6 seconds and a 90 metre long platform in 12 seconds. If the ratio of length of train ‘A’ and train ‘B’ is 2:5, respectively, then find the time taken by train ‘B’ to cross a pole with a speed of 25 m/s.

A 9 second Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 11 second Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 12 second Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 15 second Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Let the length and speed of the train ‘A’ be ‘l’ metre and ‘s’ m/s, respectively. According to question, l = 6s Also, 12s = 6s + 90 Or, 6s = 90 Or, s = 15 Therefore, length of train ‘A’ = 6s = 90 metres Length of train ‘B’ = 90 × (5/2) = 225 metres Required time taken = 225 ÷ 25 = 9 second
