In what time will a railway train 60 m long moving at the rate of 36 kmph pass a telegraph post on its way?

  • A.9 sec
  • B.8 sec
  • C.7 sec
  • D.6 sec

Answer: D

A telegraph post has no length, so the train covers only its own 60 m.

\[ 36 \text{ kmph} = 36 \times \frac{5}{18} = 10 \text{ m/s} \]

\[ t = \frac{60}{10} = 6 \text{ seconds} \]

Passing a platform or bridge would require adding its length as well; a post adds nothing.
