      Question

      Length of a train is equal to the length of a platform.

      If the train crosses the platform in 50 seconds, then find the time taken by train to cross a pole.
      A 20 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 30 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 25 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 40 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

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

      Length of train = 'L' metres

      So, (L + L) = '50v'

      Or, 2L = 50v

      So, 'L' = 25v ---------- (I)

      Required time = (L/v)

      = (25v/v) [from equation (I) ]

      = 25 seconds

      Hence, option c.
