Practicing Success
A train running at a speed of 81 km/h passes 375 m long tunnel in 40 seconds. What is the length of the train (in m ) ? |
500 525 450 375 |
525 |
Let the length of the train be ‘x’ m Length of platform = (x + 375) m Speed of train = 81 km/hr. = 81 × 5/18 = 22.5 m/sec. ∵ Time taken to cross the platform = (Sum of lengths of train & platform)/speed of train ⇒ 40 = (x + 375)/22.5 ⇒ 900 = x + 375 ⇒ x = 525m |
