    Question

    A train crosses a 360-metre-long platform in 24 seconds,

    and the same train crosses a tunnel 50% longer than the platform in 33 seconds, then find the speed of train in km/h.
    A 72 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 75 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 66 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 60 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the length and speed of train be ‘l’ metres and ‘x’ m/s, respectively.
    Then, according to question,
    (l + 360)/24 = (l + 540)/33
    11l + 3960 = 8l + 4320
    3l = 360
    l = 120 metres
    x = (l + 360)/24 = 480/24 = 20 m/s = 20×(18/5) = 72 km/h
