A train takes 25 seconds and 17 seconds respectively to cross two bridges 210m and 122m long. Find the length and speed of the train. |

Answer» > (210+x)/25=(122+x)/17 = SPEED of the train -> (210+x)*17=(122+x)*25 -> 210*17+17x=122*25+25x -> (210*17) - (122*25) = 8x -> x= 65 So the LENGTH of the train is 65m The speed of the train = (210+65)/25 or (122+65)/17 =11m/sec |
