A 240 metre long train crosses a 300 metre long platform in 27 seconds. What is the speed of the train in kmph?
Correct Answer: Option E
When Train is crossing a platform then train has to travel distance equal to sum of length of platform and its own length/
Hence, Distance to travel by the train in order to cross the platform = 240 +300 = 540 m
Time taken = 27 sec
Distance = Speed × Time
⇒ 540 = Speed × 27
⇒ Speed = 20 m/s = 20 × 18/5 = 72 km/hr
