    Question

    A train crosses a pole and a platform of length 504

    metres in 9 seconds and 21 seconds, respectively. Find the length of train.
    A 338 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 358 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 378 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 398 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the speed of train be 'v' m/s.
    Length of train = '9v' metres

    So, (9v + 504) á 21 = 'v'

    Or, 9v + 504 = 21v
    Or, 12v = 504
    So, 'v' = 42

    Therefore, length of the train = 9 × 42 = 378 metres
