      Question

      Train ‘A’ can cross a pole in 8 seconds and a 140

      metre long platform in 12 seconds. If the ratio of length of train ‘A’ and train ‘B’ is 2:5, respectively, then find the time taken by train ‘B’ to cross a pole with a speed of 25 m/s.
      A 28 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 22 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 27 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 26 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the length and speed of the train ‘A’ be ‘l’ metre and ‘s’ m/s, respectively. According to question, l = 8s Also, 12s = 8s + 140 Or, 4s = 140 Or, s = 35 Therefore, length of train ‘A’ = 8s = 280 metres Length of train ‘B’ = 280 × (5/2) = 700 metres Required time taken = 700 ÷ 25 = 28 seconds
