A train, 800 meter long is running with a speed of 78 km/hr. It crosses a tunnel in 1 minute. What is the length of the tunnel ?

A. 650 meter

B. 555 meter

C. 500 meter

D. 458 meter

Correct Answer :

C. 500 meter


Let length of tunnel is x meter
Distance = 800+x meter
Time = 1 minute = 60 seconds
Speed = 78 km/hr = 78*5/18 m/s = 65/3 m/s
Distance = Speed*Time
800+x=653×60800+x=20×65=1300x=1300-800=500
So the length of the tunnel is 500 meters.
