      Question

      A train can cross a bridge and a pole in 6.4 seconds and 4

      seconds respectively. The length of the bridge is 60 metres. Find the time taken by train to cross a bus which is running in the same direction with a speed of 15 m/sec.
      A 8 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 12 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 10 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 9 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the length and the speed of the train be 'x' metres and 'y' m/sec respectively.
      When it crosses the bridge,
      Or, {(x + 60) / y} = 6.4.................(I)
      When it crosses the pole,
      Or, (x / y) = 4
      So, x = 4y............(II)
      Or, 4y + 60 = 6.4y
      Or, 60 = 2.4y
      So, y = (60 / 2.4) = 25 m/sec
      And x = 25 × 4 = 100 metres
      So, relative speed of the train w.r.t. the bus = 25 - 15 = 10 m/sec
      So, required time = (100 / 10) = 10 seconds
