Question:

A train is moving at a speed of 132 kmph. If the length of the train is 110 meters, how long will it take to cross a railway platform 165 m long?

 

Options:

5 sec

7.5 sec

10 sec

15 sec

Correct Answer:

7.5 sec

Explanation:

Speed = \(\frac{ Distance}{ Time}\)

132 x \(\frac{5 }{ 18}\) = \(\frac{\text{ 110 + 165} }{ Time}\)

\(\frac{660 }{ 18}\) =  \(\frac{\text{ 275} }{ Time}\)

Time = 7.5 seconds
