    Question

    A train takes 25 seconds to cross a platform and 5

    seconds to cross a pole. If the length of the train is 60 metres less than the length of the platform, then find the length of the platform.
    A 50 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 66 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 65 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 85 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the speed of the train be ‘x’ m/s. Length of the train = 5 × x = ‘5x’ metres So, length of the platform = (5x + 60) metres ATQ; (5x + 60 + 5x) ÷ 25 = x Or, 10x + 60 = 25x Or, 60 = 15x So, x = 4 Therefore, length of the platform = (4 × 5) + 60 = 80 metres
