Question

A train 500 m long takes 8.5 minutes to completely cross a platform 1200mm long. What is the speed of the train

Answer 1

Length of train=500 m

Length of platform=1200 mm=1.2 m

Distance=500+1.2=501.2 m

Time=8.5 mins=510 sec

Speed=Distance/Time

          =501.2/510

          =0.98 m/s
