A goods train runs at the speed of 72 kmph and crosses a 250 m long platform in 26 seconds. What is the length of the goods train?

A. 230 m

B. 240 m

C. 260 m

D. 270 m

Correct Answer : D.


Speed = 72×518 m/sec = 20 m/sec.  Time = 26 sec.  Let the length of the train be x metres.  Then, x + 25026 = 20  ⇒ x + 250 = 520   ⇒ x = 270.
