A train, 100 m long, is standing exactly at the centre of a 150 m long platform. What is the LEAST distance that the train needs to travel before it passes the platform ENTIRELY?
Answers
Answer:
50 metres long train have to go on platform
Answer:
The LEAST distance that the train needs to travel before it passes the platform ENTIRELY is 125m.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the question,
⇒ Length of the train = 100m,
⇒ Length of the platform = 150m
so, if the train is exactly at the center of the platform then it must have left 25m from forward and 25m from backward, as its length is 100 and the platform is 150, so the train will occupy only 100m of the platform leaving the rest 50m, 25m from forward and 25m from backward as it's at the center.
so, the least distance that the train needs to travel = total length of the train + half of the space in the station left when the train was standing.
i.e., the least distance that the train needs to travel = ( 100m + 25m )
= 125m
∴The LEAST distance that the train needs to travel before it passes the platform ENTIRELY is 125m.
