Question:

A train of length 212 m is running at 45 km/h.In what time (in seconds)will it cross a platform of length 188 m?

Options:

36

42

32

40

Correct Answer:

32

Explanation:

Speed of train = 45 km/h

45 km/h = 45 × \(\frac{5}{18}\) m/sec = 12.5 m/sec

Total distance = 212 + 188 = 400 m

Time taken to cross bridge of length 188 m = \(\frac{400}{12.5}\) 

= 32 sec
