Question:

A train 280 m long is moving at 60 kmph. The time taken by the train to cross a tunnel 220 m long, is

 

 

Options:

20 sec

25 sec

30 sec

35 sec

Correct Answer:

30 sec

Explanation:

Speed in m/s = 60 x \(\frac{5}{18}\) = \(\frac{50}{3}\) m/s

Speed = \(\frac{ Distance}{ Time}\)

\(\frac{50}{3}\) = \(\frac{ \text{280 + 220}}{ Time}\)

\(\frac{50}{3}\) = \(\frac{500}{ Time}\)

Time = \(\frac{\text{500 x 3}}{ 50}\)

Time = 30 seconds
