    • Question

      A train crosses a 500-metre-long platform in 30 seconds,

      and the same train crosses a tunnel that is 20% longer than the train itself in 42 seconds. Find the speed of the train in km/h.
      A 144 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 150 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 180 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 200 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 165 km/hr 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 + 500)/30 = 2.2l/42
      42l + 21000 = 66l
      24l = 21000
      l = 875 metres
      x = (l + 500)/30 * (18/5) = 165 km/h
