A train 350 m long is running at the speed of 36 km/h. If it crosses a tunnel in 1 minute, the length of the tunnel in metres:
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
Let the length of the tunnel be x m
Time = $$\frac{{{\text{Length of train}} + {\text{Length of tunnel}}}}{{{\text{Speed}}}}$$
60 = $$\frac{{350 + {\text{x}}}}{{10}}$$
$$ {{\text{Speed}} = \frac{{36 \times 5}}{{18}} = 10\,\,{\text{m/sec}}} $$
x = 250 meters
Therefore length of tunnel is 250 meters
Time = $$\frac{{{\text{Length of train}} + {\text{Length of tunnel}}}}{{{\text{Speed}}}}$$
60 = $$\frac{{350 + {\text{x}}}}{{10}}$$
$$ {{\text{Speed}} = \frac{{36 \times 5}}{{18}} = 10\,\,{\text{m/sec}}} $$
x = 250 meters
Therefore length of tunnel is 250 meters
