A train running at the speed of 60 km/hr crosses a pole in 9 seconds. What is the length of the train?

Solution (By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Speed}} = \left( {60 \times \frac{5}{{18}}} \right){\text{m/sec}} = {\frac{{50}}{3}} {\text{m/sec}} \cr & {\text{Length}}\,{\text{of}}\,{\text{the}}\,{\text{train}} = \left( {{\text{Speed}} \times {\text{Time}}} \right) \cr & \therefore {\text{Length}}\,{\text{of}}\,{\text{the}}\,{\text{train}} \cr & = \left( {\frac{{50}}{3} \times 9} \right)m = 150m \cr} $$
