A train passes a station platform in 36 seconds and a man standing on the platform in 20 seconds.
Question 1:
A train passes a station platform in 36 seconds and a man standing on the platform in 20 seconds. If the speed of the train is 54 km/hr, what is the length of the platform?
A.120 m
B.240 m
Feedback Speed = (54 x 5/18)m/sec = 15 m/sec. Length of the train = (15 x 20)m = 300 m. Let the length of the platform be x metres. Then, x + 300/36 = 15 x = 240 m.
C.300 m
D.None of these
