A train 700 m long is running at 72 kmph. If it crosses a tunnel in 1 minute, the length of the tunnel is:

A. 700

B. 600

C. 550

D. 500

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Length of train = 700 m

Length of tunnel = X (let)

Time taken to cross the tunnel = 1 minute = 60 sec.

Speed = 72 kmph = (72*5)/18 = 20 m sec.
To cross the tunnel train needs to travel = Length of train + length of tunnel = 700 +X
Now,

S*T = D
20 *60 = 700 +X
X = 1200 - 700 = 500

Length of tunnel = 500 m.
