Time, Speed and Distance

Question:

A train is running at a speed of 99 km/hr. If the train is 565 m long, then what will be the time (in seconds) taken by it to cross a 975m long tunnel?

Options:

54

56

40

42

Correct Answer:

56

Explanation:

Speed = 99 km/h

99 km/h = 99 × \(\frac{5}{18}\) = \(\frac{55}{2}\) m/sec

Total distance = 565 + 975 = 1540 m

Time =  \(\frac{1540 × 2 }{55}\) = 56 seconds
