Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 81 seconds Given: Length of the station = 270 m Time taken on crossing the station = 90 sec Speed = 108 km / h Concept: Crossing a bird feeder = crossing its own length Crossing a station = Crossing the combined length of train and station. Calculations: Speed of train = 108 km / h = 108 × 5 / 18 ⇒ 30 m / s Let the length of the train be x metres. Then, (x + 270) / 30 = 90 ⇒ x + 270 = 90 × 30 ⇒ x + 270 = 2700 ⇒ x = 2430 So, time taken by the train to cross the bird feeder ⇒ 2430 / 30 ⇒ 81 s The time taken by the train to cross the bird feeder is 81 seconds. |
