    Question

    A train 130 meters long travelling at 54 km/hr crosses

    the bridge in 30 sec. Then the length of the bridge is:
    A 320 meters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 350 meters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 325 meters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 375 meters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of train = 54 km/hr = 54 × (5/18) m/s = 15 m/s When a train crosses a bridge, it travels a distance equal to its own length and the length of the bridge. Since the train crosses a bridge in 30 sec, Distance traveled by train = 30 × 15 = 450 m ∴ Length of train + Length of bridge = 450 ⇒ Length of bridge = 450 – 130 = 320 m
