Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 2 : 216 kmph

Given:

Length of the train = 200m

Length of the bridge crossed = 160m

Time taken to cross the bridge = 6 seconds

Concept used:

A train is considered crossing a bridge/platform when its total length along with the length of the bridge/platform is covered by the train

Detailed solution:

Speed of the train = Distance covered/Time taken

⇒ Speed = 360/6

⇒ Speed = 60 m/sec

Now, in kmph

⇒ 60 × (18/5)

⇒ 18 ×12

⇒ 216

∴ The speed of the train is 216 km/hr
