Q:

A train speeds past a pole in 15 seconds and a platform 100 m long in 25 seconds. Its length is:

A) 50 m B) 150 m
C) 200 m D) data inadequate
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 150 m

Explanation:

Let the length of the train be x metres and its speed be y m/sec.
Then, (x/y)= 15   y =(x/15)

 

(x+100)/25 = x/15

 

=> 15(x + 100) = 25x

 

=> 15x + 1500 = 25x

 

=> 1500 = 10x

 

=> x = 150 m.
