Question:

A 300 m long train is moving at a speed of 60 km/h. In what time will it cross a single pole?

Options:

25 sec

30 sec

18 sec

12 sec

Correct Answer:

18 sec

Explanation:

A train 300 m long is running with a speed of 60 km/hr. 

Time and distance

Speed = 60 km/hr

To convert into m/sec multiply with 5/18

Speed = 60 × (5/18)

Speed = 50/3 m/sec

Time = Distance / speed

Time = 300 × 3/50

Time = 18 second
