find the time taken by a 110 metre long train to cross a platform 90m long of its speed is 30 kilometre per hour |
|
Answer» Answer: Let the speed of the train be X m/sec and LENGTH of the train be y m. Then, Speed of the train Length of the train
= Time taken by the train to pass the man ⇒ x y
=15⇒y=15x ......... (1) and Speed of train Length of train + Length of platform
= Time taken by the train to CROSS the platform ⇒ x y+90
=30⇒y+90=30x ........ (2) Put the value of y from (1) in (2) 15x+90=30x⇒15x=90⇒x=6m/sec ∴ Speed of train =(6× 5 18
)km/hr=21.6km/hr. |
