    Question

    Train β€˜A’ can cross a pole in 7 seconds and a 160

    metre long platform in 12 seconds. If the ratio of length of train β€˜A’ and train β€˜B’ is 2:5, respectively, then find the time taken by train β€˜B’ to cross a pole with a speed of 20 m/s.
    A 28 second Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 25 second Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 20 second Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 21 second Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the length and speed of the train β€˜A’ be β€˜l’ metre and β€˜s’ m/s, respectively. According to question, l = 7s Also, 12s = 7s + 160 Or, 5s = 160 Or, s = 32 Therefore, length of train β€˜A’ = 7s = 224 metres Length of train β€˜B’ = 160 Γ— (5/2) = 560 metres Required time taken = 560 Γ· 20 = 28 second
