A train speeds past a pole in 15 seconds and a platform 100 meter long in 25 seconds. What is length of the train ?

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Relative Speed = 60+40 = 100 Kmph
= 100*(5/18) = 250/9 m/sec

Distance to be covered = 140 + 160 = 300 metres

Time = Distance/Speed

\begin{aligned}
Time = 300*\frac{9}{250} \\
= \frac{54}{5} = 10.8\text{ seconds}
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

As trains are running in opposite directions so their relative speed will get added
So, Relative speed = 120 +80 = 200 kmph
= 200*(5/18) = 500/9 m/sec

Let the length of other train is x meter then

\begin{aligned}
\frac{x+270}{9} = \frac{500}{9} \\
=> x+270 = 500\\
=> x = 230
\end{aligned}

So the length of the train is 230 meters

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the length of each train is x meter
Distance will be x+x = 2x

Relative Speed = 46-36 = 10 km/hr
= 10*(5/18) = 25/9 m/sec

Distance = Speed*Time

\begin{aligned}
2x = \frac{25}{9}*36 \\
2x = 100 \\
=> x = 50
\end{aligned}
So length of both the trains are 50 meters

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

First convert speed into m/sec

Speed = 144*(5/18) = 40 m/sec

Time = Distance/speed
= 100/40 = 2.5 seconds

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

First convert speed from km/hr to m/sec

So, Speed = 72*(5/18) = 20 m/sec
Time = 26 seconds

Let the length of the train be x meters.
We know, Distance = Speed*Time.
[you can remember this formula as remembering DUST = D*ST... Distance=Speed*Time]

x+250 = 20*26
=> x = 270 meters

So length of the goods train is 270 meter
