    Question

    A train of length 360 metres crosses a man standing on

    a platform in 12 seconds. If its speed decreases by 25%, then find the time taken by the train to cross a platform of length 540 metres.
    A 40 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 50 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 52 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 60 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 56 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of train = (360 ÷ 12) = 30 m/s New speed of train = 0.75 × 30 = 22.5 m/s Required time = (360 + 540) ÷ 22.5
    = 900 ÷ 22.5
    = 40 seconds
