The time taken for a train to pass a pole is 18 seconds, while it takes 33 seconds to cross a bridge measuring 300 meters. Calculate the length of the train.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Let the length of the train = L meters

The speed remains constant.

33L = 18L + 5400

15L = 5400

L = 360 meters
