Time taken to cross a signal pole = Time taken to cross a platform = Length of train = 330 m. I and III give, 18 = 330 x 2 x 330 x x=

Length of the train Speed of the train

(Length of the train + Length of the Platform) Speed of the train

330 55 m/sec = m/sec. 18 3 x= 660 55 m/sec = m/sec. 36 3

II and III give, 36 =

The train crosses a platform of length 250 metres in 27 seconds. III. The train crosses another train running in the same direction in 32 seconds. A. I and II only B. II and III only C. I and III only D. Any two of the three E. None of these Answer & Explanation Answer: Option A Explanation: Let the speed of the train be x metres/sec. Time taken to cross a tree = Length of the train Speed of the train (Length of the train + Length of the Platform) Speed of the train

Time taken to cross a platform = I gives, 13 = l x 13x.

II gives 27 =

l + 250 x

13x + 250 = 27 x x= 125 m/sec. 7

Thus I and II give the speed of the train. The correct answer is (A.) View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum
