      Question

      A train of length 400 metres crosses a man standing on

      platform in 16 seconds. If its speed decreases by 20%, then find the time taken by train to cross a platform of length 560 metres.
      A 42 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 45 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 48 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 52 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 50 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Speed of train = (400 ÷ 16) = 25 m/s New speed of train = 0.8 × 25 = 20 m/s Required time = (400 + 560) ÷ 20
      = 960 ÷ 20
      = 48 seconds
