Question
A 100 m long train is going at a speed of 60 km/hr. It will cross a 140 m long railway bridge in-
Answer: Option C
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Speed }} \cr
& {\text{ = }}\left( {60 \times \frac{5}{{18}}} \right){\text{m/sec}} \cr
& {\text{ = }}\frac{{50}}{3}{\text{ m/sec}} \cr
& {\text{Total distance covered}} \cr
& {\text{ = (100 + 140) m = 240 m}} \cr
& \therefore {\text{Required time}} \cr
& {\text{ = }}\left( {240 \times \frac{3}{{50}}} \right){\text{sec}} \cr
& {\text{ = }}\frac{{72}}{5}{\text{sec}} \cr
& {\text{ = 14}}{\text{.4 sec}} \cr} $$
