Question

A train of length 96 m is running at a speed of 144 kmph. How much time will it take to pass a platform of 180 m?

1. 5.95 sec
2. 6.90 sec
3. 7.92 sec.
4. 8.95 sec
5. None of the above/More than one of the above

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 6.90 sec

The correct answer is 6.90 sec.

⇒ Speed of train = 144 kmph = 144 × (5/18) m/s = 40 m/s

⇒ Distance to be covered = 96 + 180 = 276 m

⇒ Time = Distance/Speed

∴ Required time = 276/40 = 6.9 sec
