    Question

    A train crosses a pole and a platform of length 396

    metres in 6 seconds and 18 seconds, respectively. Find the length of train.
    A 158 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 178 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 198 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 218 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the speed of train be 'v' m/s.
    Length of train = '6v' metres

    So, (6v + 396) ÷ 18 = 'v'

    Or, 6v + 396 = 18v
    Or, 12v = 396
    So, 'v' = 33

    Therefore, length of the train = 6 × 33 = 198 metres
