      Question

      A train crosses a 400-metre-long platform in 25 seconds,

      and the same train crosses a tunnel 25% longer than the platform in 30 seconds. 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

      Solution

      Let the length and speed of train be β€˜l’ metres and β€˜x’ m/s, respectively.
      Then, according to question,
      (l + 400)/25 = (l + 500)/30
      6l + 2400 = 5l + 2500
      l = 100
      l = 100 metres
      x = (l + 400)/25 = 500/25 = 20 m/s = 20Γ—(18/5) = 72 km/h
