      Question

      A truck moving at 30 km/h is overtaken by a train in 20

      seconds. If the train is travelling at twice the speed of the truck, calculate its length.
      A 130.5 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 125.1 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 170.9 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 166.6 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Speed of the truck = 30 × (5/18) = 8.33 m/s

      So, speed of the train = 8.33 × 2 = 16.66 m/s

      Let the length of the train be 'x' metres

      ATQ:

      x / (16.66 - 8.33) = 20

      So, x = 166.6

      Length of the train ≈ 166.6 metres
