A train 200 m long running, at a speed of 36 km/h, takes 55 seconds to cross a bridge completely. What is the length of the bridge?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 350 m.
Length of train = 200 m
Speed of train = 36 km/h
Time taken by train to cross the bridge = 55 sec
Distance = Speed × Time
Speed(in m/s) = Speed(in km/h)
The speed of the train in m/s = 36 = 10 m/s
Let the length of the bridge = x
We know, Distance Travelled = Speed × Time
According to the given statement,
⇒ 200 + x = 10 × 55
⇒ x = 550 - 200
⇒ 350 m
