The length of a train is 500 m and it is running at the speed of 216 km/hr. Find the time taken by train to cross a platform if the length of platform is 1300 m.
A25 seconds
B27 seconds
C33 seconds
D30 seconds

correct answer is: option d (d)[30 seconds]
Explanation: To find the time taken by the train to cross the platform, we need to calculate the total distance the train needs to cover, which is the sum of the length of the train and the length of the platform. Then, we need to convert the speed of the train from km/hr to m/s and divide the total distance by the speed to find the time.

  • Step 1: Calculate the total distance: Total distance = Length of train + Length of platform = 500m+1300m=1800m.
  • Step 2: Convert the speed from km/hr to m/s: Speed = 216km/hr=216×10003600m/s=60m/s.
  • Step 3: Calculate the time taken: Time = TotaldistanceSpeed=1800m60m/s=30seconds.
