The length of a train and that of a platform are equal. If with a speed of 90 k/hr, the train crosses the platform in one minute, then the length of the train (in meters) is:
[ "896", "258", "750", "693" ]
C
Explanation: Speed = [90 * 5/18] m/sec = 25 m/sec; Time = 1 min. = 60 sec. Let the length of the train and that of the platform be x meters. Then, 2x/60 = 25 è x = 25 * 60 / 2 = 750 Answer:C) 750

B
Speed = [45 X 5/18] m/sec = [25/2] m/sec Time = 30 sec Let the length of bridge be x metres. Then, (170 + x)/30 = 25/2 => 2(170 + x) = 750 => x = 205 m. Answer: E
