      Question

      A train crosses a pole and a platform of length 672

      metres in 14 seconds and 30 seconds, respectively. Find the length of train.
      A 548 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 568 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 588 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 608 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the speed of train be 'v' m/s.
      Length of train = '14v' metres

      So, (14v + 672) ÷ 30 = 'v'

      Or, 14v + 672 = 30v
      Or, 16v = 672
      So, 'v' = 42

      Therefore, length of the train = 14 × 42 = 588 metres
