A train with a length of 150m long, takes 30 seconds to cross a 500m long bridge. How much time will the train take to cross a 370m long platform?

A 18 sec

B 24 sec

C 30 sec

D 36 sec

Solution

Correct Answer: Option B

Length of the train = 150 m
Length of the bridge = 500 m

Total length = (500 + 150)m
                  = 650m

Speed of the train = 650/30 ​m/sec
                           = 65/3 m/sec

Now,
total length of the train and new bridge = (370 + 150)m = 520m

∴ Time taken = (520 × 3​)/65 sec
                    = 24 sec
