Question

A train traveling at a uniform speed passes by a platform 220 m long in 30 s and another platform 325 m long in 39 s Find.
(i) the length of train
(ii) the speed of train​

Answer 1

Plateform A has length 220 meter and plateform B has 325 meter length .

Answer 2

Given s =t+ 220/30 ••••••• (1)

and s= t + 325/39 ••••••• (2)

on solving (1) and (2), we get

39(t + 220) = 30(t + 325)

39t + 8580 = 30t + 9750

9t = 1170

t = 130 metres

Substitute in (1), we get

Speed = 130 + 220/30

= 350/30 =

= 11.66 m/sec

On converting it to km/hr, we get

S = 3600 * 11.66/1000

= 41.9

= ~42
