A train having length 150 m passes a platform of 550 m length. The time taken for it is 56 seconds. In how much time will this train take to pass the platform of 250 m length?

  • A.32 seconds
  • B.24 seconds
  • C.28 seconds
  • D.30 seconds

Answer: A

Find the speed from the first crossing.

\[ v = \frac{150 + 550}{56} = \frac{700}{56} = 12.5 \text{ m/s} \]

\[ t = \frac{150 + 250}{12.5} = \frac{400}{12.5} = 32 \text{ seconds} \]

The train's own length must be added to both platform lengths; leaving it out of the second would give 20 seconds.
