      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
