      Question

      A train of length (L + 90) meters crosses a man running

      in the same direction in 30 seconds. The same train crosses a bridge of length (L - 210) meters in 36 seconds. If the speed of the man is 18 kmph, then find the value of 'L'.
      A 480 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 510 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 540 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 570 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the speed of the train be 'S' m/s,

      Speed of the man = 18 kmph = 5 m/s

      Length of the train = (L + 90) metres

      ATQ,

      L + 90 = (S - 5) X 30

      L = 30S - 240 --- (i)

      Sum of the length of Train and bridge = L + 90 + L - 210

      = (2L - 120) metres

      Now,

      2L - 120 = 36S

      Using value of 'L' from equation (i), we get:

      2 X (30S - 240) - 120 = 36S

      Or, 60S - 480 - 120 = 36S

      Or, 24S = 600

      So, 'S' = 25

      Required value of 'L' = 30 X 25 - 240 = 510
