    Question

    Train ‘A’ can cross a pole in 7 seconds and a 160

    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 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 ‘A’ be ‘l’ metre and ‘s’ m/s, respectively. According to question, l = 7s Also, 12s = 7s + 160 Or, 5s = 160 Or, s = 32 Therefore, length of train ‘A’ = 7s = 224 metres Length of train ‘B’ = 160 × (5/2) = 560 metres Required time taken = 560 ÷ 20 = 28 second
