A train 900 m long is running at 108 km/h. How long will it take to clear a 900 m long platform completely?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e 60 s.
Length of train = 900 m
Length of platform = 900 m
Speed of train = 108 km/h
Time =
According to the given question,
Speed in m/sec = 108 km/hr
⇒ 108 × 5/18 = 30 m/sec
Total distance = 900 + 900 = 1800 m
Time taken = = 60 sec
Hence the time taken by train to cross the platform is 60 sec.
