    Question

    Train β€˜A’ can cross a pole in 8 seconds and a 80

    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 25 m/s.
    A 16 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 15 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 17 seconds 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 = 8s Also, 12s = 8s + 80 Or, 4s = 80 Or, s = 20 Therefore, length of train β€˜A’ = 8s = 160 metres Length of train β€˜B’ = 160 Γ— (5/2) = 400 metres Required time taken = 400 Γ· 25 = 16 seconds
