Question
A train passes a station platform in 36 seconds and a man standing on the platform in 20 seconds. If the speed of the train is 54 km/hr, what is the length of the platform?
Answer: Option B
 - Speed = 54 x 5 m/sec = 15 m/sec. 18
Length of the train = (15 x 20)m = 300 m.
Let the length of the platform be x metres.
Then, x + 300 = 15 36
x + 300 = 540
x = 240 m.
