SSC CGL Tier II - Quant - 16 Nov 2020 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q74

A train travelling at 36 km/hr crosses a pole in 25 sec. How much time (in sec) will it take to cross a bridge 350 m long?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 60

Speed = 36km/hr = 36 × 5/18 = 10m/sec.

Distance travelled by the train in 25 sec is nothing but the length of the train,

= 25 × 10 = 250m.

Time is taken by train to cross a bridge of 350m,

= (250 + 350)/10 = 60 sec.
