Question

A train 400m long is running at the speed of 72km/hr. how much time does it take to cross a telegraph pole?

Answer 1

Short Answer: 20 seconds

Long Answer:

First Convert 72 km/hr to m/s

72×1000/(60×60) = 20 m/s

Time to cover 200 m bridge = 200 m/(20 m/s) => 10 s

Since length of the train is 400 m, the bridge can only hold half the length of the train. So the other half will take another 10 s.

So, 10 s + 10 s = 20 s

This is the simplest understandable solution and there are many ways to do it.

Note: This solution is not recommended for exams as it wastes precious time explaining everything.
