      Question

      Length of a train is one-third of the length of a

      platform. If the train crosses the platform in 48 seconds, then find the time taken by train to cross a pole.
      A 16 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 24 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 12 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 20 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the speed of train be 'v' m/s and the length of platform be '3L' metres.

      Length of train = (1/3) X 3L = 'L' metres

      So, (3L + L) = '48v'

      Or, 4L = 48v

      So, 'L' = 12v ---------- (I)

      Required time = (L/v)

      = (12v/v) [from equation (I) ]

      = 12 seconds

      Hence, option c.
