Practicing Success
The length of a bridge which a 130 metres long train travelling at 45 Km/hr can cross in 30 seconds is __________ |
225 m 245 m 250 m 275 m |
245 m |
Speed in m/s=45× \(\frac{5 }{ 18}\)m/sec = \(\frac{25 }{ 2}\) m/sec Time = 30 sec. Let the length of bridge be x metres. Then \(\frac{\text{130 + x}}{ 30}\)= \(\frac{25 }{ 2}\) ⇒2(130+x)=750 ⇒ 260 + 2x = 750 ⇒ 2x = 490 ⇒x=245m |
