      Question

      A train can cross a pole in 6 seconds while it can cross

      a 240 metres long platform in 18 seconds. Find the time (in hours) taken by the train to cover a distance of 540 km if the train increased its speed by 50%.
      A 4 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 4.5 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 5 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 5.5 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let speed of train is β€˜x’ m/s while length of the train is β€˜l’ metres.
      So, l = 6x
      And, l + 240 = 18x
      β‡’ 6x + 240 = 18x
      β‡’ 12x = 240
      β‡’ x = 20
      Speed = 20 Γ— 18/5 = 72 km/h
      Increased speed = 1.5 Γ— 72 = 108 km/h
      Time = 540 / 108 = 5 hours
