SSC MTS - 18 July 2022 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q67

A 600-metre-long train is running at the speed of 45 km/h. How much time will the train take to completely cross a stationary pole?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 48 s.

Distance = length of train = 600 m

Speed = 45 km/h

Distance = Speed × Time

Time = DistanceSpeedDistance\over Speed

Speed(in m/s) = Speed(in km/h) ×518\times {5 \over 18}

According to the given question,

Speed of train(in m/s) = 45 ×518\times {5 \over 18} = 25225 \over 2 = 12.5 m/s

Now, time = 60012.5600 \over 12.5 = 48 s

Hence the required time is 48 s.
