    A train crosses a platform in 36 seconds and a pole in

    24 seconds. If the length of the train is 300 meters, what is the length of the platform?
    A 100 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 200 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 150 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 250 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of the train = Length of train / Time to cross the pole = 300 / 24 = 12.5 m/s. Length of the platform = Speed × (Time for platform - Time for pole)  = 12.5 × (36 - 24) = 150 m. Correct Option: c
