Question:

750 metres long train crosses a stationary pole in 15 sec. Travelling at the same speed, this train crosses a bridge completely in 25 sec. What is the length of this bridge?

Options:

1000

750

1250

500

Correct Answer:

500

Explanation:

Train crosses a pole in 15 sec .

Speed of train = \(\frac{Distance }{time}\)

= \(\frac{750}{15}\) = 50 m/sec

Time to cross bridge = 25 sec

Total distance = Length of train + Length of bridge

Total distance = 50 × 25 = 1250 m

1250 = 750 + length of bridge

Length of bridge = 1270 - 750 = 500 m
