A-1:


A train 360 m long is running at a speed of 45 km/hr. In what time will it pass a bridge 140 m long?
A.
40 sec
B. 42 sec
C. 45 secD. 48 sec



Answer: Option A
Explanation:


Formula for converting from km/hr to m/s:   X km/hr = X x 5 m/s.
18

Therefore, Speed = 45 x 5 m/sec = 25 m/sec.
18 2
Total distance to be covered = (360 + 140) m = 500 m.

Formula for finding Time = Distance
-----------
Speed
Required time = 500 x 2
---------
sec = 40 sec.
25
