A train passes a station platform in 36 seconds and a man standing on the platform in 20 seconds. If the speed of the train is 54 km/hr, what is the length of the platform?
A. 225 meters
B. 240 meters
C. 230 meters
D. 235 meters
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Speed = $$\left( {54 \times \frac{5}{{18}}} \right)$$ m/sec = 15 m/secLength of the train = (15 × 20) m = 300 m
Let the length of the platform be x meters
Then, $$\frac{{{\text{x}} + 300}}{{36}}$$ = 15
⇒ x + 300 = 540
⇒ x = 240 meters
