What is the correct answer?

Speed of a goods train is 72 km/hr. This train crosses a 250 meter platform in 26 seconds. Then find the length of goods train.

A. 250 meters

B. 260 meters

C. 270 meters

D. 280 meters

Correct Answer :

C. 270 meters


First convert speed from km/hr to m/sec
So, Speed = 72*(5/18) = 20 m/sec
Time = 26 seconds
Let the length of the train be x meters.
We know, Distance = Speed*Time.
[you can remember this formula as remembering DUST = D*ST, Distance=Speed*Time]
x+250 = 20*26
=> x = 270 meters
So length of the goods train is 270 meter
