SSC GD Constable (English) - 24 Jan 2023 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q54

If a train 90-m-long crosses a platform of 210-m-long in 20 sec, then what is the speed of the train?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 54 km/h

Length of the train = 90 m

Length of the train = 210 m

Time taken in crossing = 20 sec

Total Distance = Length of the train + Length of the platform

Speed=DistanceTimeSpeed ={ Distance \over Time}

According to the given question,

Total distance = Length of train + Length of platform = 90 + 210 = 300 m

Now, Speed of train = 30020300 \over 20= 15 m/sec

⇒ 15×18515 \times {18 \over 5} = 54 km/h
