    Question

    A high-speed Bullettrain takes 20 seconds to cross a

    platform. The length of the Bullettrain is 40% less than the length of the platform. If the Bullettrain's speed is increased by 25%, what will be the time taken by the train to cross a pillar?
    A 10 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 4 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 6 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 12 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the length of the platform be '10a' metres So, length of the train = 10a Ă— 0.6 = '6a' So, speed of the train = {(6a + 10a)/20} = '0.8a' m/s So, new speed of the train = 0.8a Ă— 1.25 = 'a' m/s So, required time = 6a Ă· a = 6 seconds
