Question:

A train running at 72 km/h crosses a pole in 12 seconds. How much time(in seconds)will it take to cross a bridge 360 m long?

Options:

40

75

60

30

Correct Answer:

30

Explanation:

Speed = 72 × \(\frac{5}{18}\) = 20 m/sec

Distance = Speed × Time

= 20 × 12 = 240 m

Total distance = 240 + 360 = 600 m

Time taken = \(\frac{600}{20}\) = 30 sec
