    Question

    Train β€˜A’ can cross a pole in 10 seconds and a 200

    metre long platform in 14 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 50 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 40 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 30 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 55 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 = 10s Also, 14s = 10s + 200 Or, 4s = 200 Or, s = 50 Therefore, length of train β€˜A’ = 10s = 500 metres Length of train β€˜B’ = 500 Γ— (5/2) = 1250 metres Required time taken = 1250 Γ· 25 = 50 seconds
