Question

    A 300-metre-long train takes 12 seconds to cross a pole.

    Due to engine fault, the speed is reduced by 20%. Find the time taken by the train to cross a platform of length 600 metres.
    A 30 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 35 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 45 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 50 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of the train = 300 / 12 = 25 m/s
    New speed = 0.8 × 25 = 20 m/s
    Required time = (300 + 600) ÷ 20 = 900 ÷ 20 = 45 seconds
