SSC CGL - 14 July 2023 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q66

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 = distancespeeddistance\over speed

According to the given question,

Speed in m/sec = 108 km/hr ×518\times {5\over 18}

⇒ 108 × 5/18 = 30 m/sec

Total distance = 900 + 900 = 1800 m

Time taken = 1800301800 \over 30 = 60 sec

Hence the time taken by train to cross the platform is 60 sec.
