A train 700 m long is running at 72 kmph. If it crosses a tunnel in 1 minute, the length of the tunnel is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Speed in m/s = 72 x \(\frac{ 5}{ 18}\) m/s
Speed in m/s = 20 m/s
Let the length of the tunnel be x
20 = \(\frac{\text{700 + x}}{ 60}\)
1200 = 700 + x
x = 500 m
