Question
A train crosses a pole and a platform of length 300
metres in 9 seconds and 24 seconds, respectively. Find the length of train.Solution
Let the speed of train be 'v' m/s.
Length of train = '9v' metres
So, (9v + 300) ÷ 24 = 'v'
Or, 9v + 300 = 24v
Or, 15v = 300
So, 'v' = 20
Therefore, length of the train = 9 × 20 = 180 metres
