      A train takes 16 seconds to pass a pole and 36 seconds

      to cross a platform 250 meters long. Calculate the total distance the train would cover if it traveled continuously for 5 hours.
      A 225 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 175 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 245 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 275 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 250 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let speed of train is β€˜x’ m/s and length of train is β€˜l’ metres According to question; l = 16x And, l + 250 = 36x Or, 16x + 250 = 36x Or, 20x = 250 Or, x = 12.5 Speed of train = 12.5 Γ— 18/5 = 45 km/h Distance travelled by train in 5 hours = 45 Γ— 5 = 225 km Hence, option a.
