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?

Options:
A .  120 m
B .  240 m
C .  300 m
D .  Data inadequate
E .  None of these
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.
