      Question

      The time taken by train A , whose length is 'd' meters

      to cross a bridge of 300 meters is equal to the time taken by train B of length 'd + 200' meters to cross a platform of 500 meters is equal. The ratio of speed of train A and B is 5:9 respectively. Find the value of d. (in meters). 
      A 195 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 180 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 285 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Length of train A = d, length of train B = d+200. Train A crosses a 300 m bridge, and Train B crosses a 500 m platform in equal time. Speed ratio: Train A to Train B = 5:9. Set up time equations:

      Cross-multiply = 9(d+300)=5(d+700) Simplify: 4d = 800, So, d = 200.
