      Question

      A train of 175 metres is running at a speed of 72 km/h and

      crosses a platform in 36 seconds. Determine the length of the platform.
      A 480 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 545 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 665 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 335 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the length of the platform be ‘x’ metres

      Speed of the train = 72 × (5/18) = 20 m/s

      ATQ,

      (x + 175) = 20 × 36

      Or, (x + 175) = 720

      Or, x = 720 - 175

      Or, x = 545

      Therefore, the length of the platform = 545 metres
