A 300 meter long train crosses a platform in 39 seconds while it crosses a signal pole in 18 seconds. What is the length of the platform.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Relative Speed = 63-3 = 60 Km/hr
= 60 *(5/18) = 50/3 m/sec

Time taken to pass the man will ne
\begin{aligned}
500*\frac{3}{50} = 30 \text{ seconds}
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

First person speed = 2*(5/18) = 5/9 m/sec
Second person speed = 4*(5/18) = 10/9 m/sec

Let the length of train is x metre and speed is y m/sec

then,
\begin{aligned}
\frac{x}{y-\frac{5}{9}} = 9 \\
=> 9y-5 = x \\
=> 9y-x = 5 .....(i) \\
Also, \\
\frac{x}{y-\frac{10}{9}} = 10 \\
90y-9x = 100 .....(ii)\\

\text{from (i) and (ii), we get,} \\
x=50
\end{aligned}
So length of train is 50 metre

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Speed = 60*(5/18) m/sec = 50/3 m/sec

Length of Train(Distance) = Speed * Time

\begin{aligned}
= \frac{50}{3}*9 = 150 meter
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Speed = Distance/time = 300/18 = 50/3 m/sec

Let the length of the platform be x meters
then
\begin{aligned}
Distance = Speed*Time \\
x+300 = \frac{50}{3}*39 \\
=>3(x+300)= 1950 \\
=> x = 350 \text{ meters}
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

As Trains are moving in same direction,
So, Relative Speed = 40-20 = 20 kmph
= 20*(5/18) = 50/9 m/sec

Length of Train= Speed * Time

\begin{aligned}
Length = \frac{50}{9}*5 \\
= \frac{250}{9} \\
=27\frac{7}{9}
\end{aligned}
