    Question

    A train 120 m long runs at 54 km/h. It passes a pole in

    8 seconds. In how many seconds will it pass a platform of length 180 m?
    A 20 secs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 52 secs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 33 secs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 23 secs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed = 54 km/h = 54 × (5/18) = 15 m/s Time to pass pole = length/speed = 120/15 = 8 s (consistent). To pass platform, distance = train length + platform length = 120 + 180 = 300 m Time = 300 / 15 = 20 s
