Question

Duronto Express moving at 120 km/hr crosses the Hyderabad platform in 20 seconds. Then it crosses a man running at 10 km/hr in the same direction as the train in 10 seconds. What is the length of the Duronto Express and Hyderabad platform?

  • 360
  • 370
  • 290
  • 400
Answer- A

Let the length of train X meters and length of platform Y meters

Relative Speed (Speed of train relative to man) = 120 − 10 = 110 km/hr

Relative Speed in m/sec = 110 x 5/18 = 275/9 m/s

The distance covered by train to cross the man is equal to its length. So, it is = X meters

So, X = Relative Speed x Time (time taken to cross the man)

275/9 * 10 = 2750/9 meters (length of train)

Speed of train in m/s = 120 x 5/18 = 100/3 m/s

Time taken to cross the platform =Apti Problem on trains 61

So, 20= (305.5 + Y)* 3/100

2000 = 916.6 + 3y

3y = 1083.3

y = 361.1 (length of platform)
