Question

A train 130 metres in length run through the station at the rate of 36 km per hour. How long will it take to pass a given point?
1. 15 seconds
2. 13 seconds
3. 11 seconds
4. 20 seconds
5.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 13 seconds

Given:

Length of train = 130 m

Speed = 36 km/hr

Concept Used:

Speed = Distance/Time

1 km/hr = 5/18 m/sec

Calculation:

Speed of the train = 36 km/hr

⇒ 36 × (5/18) = 10 m/sec

When a train passing a given point, actually it will cover it's own length

Required time = 130/10 = 13 seconds

∴ It will take 13 seconds to pass a given point.
