Question:

A 600-metre-long train is running at the speed of 45 km/h. How much time will the train take to completely cross a stationary pole?

Options:

42 s

60 s

54 s

48 s

Correct Answer:

48 s

Explanation:

We know ,

Time = \(\frac{Distance}{Speed}\)

Speed = 45 km/h

45 km/h = 45 × \(\frac{5}{18}\) m/sec =  \(\frac{25}{2}\) m/sec

Time =  \(\frac{600 × 2 }{25 }\)

= 48 seconds
