Q.

Train K crosses a stationary Train L in 50 seconds and a pole in 20 seconds with the same speed. The length of the Train K is 240 meters. What is the length of stationary Train L ?

View Answer

Correct choice: D

Explanation:

Speed of the Train K is given by s = d/t = 240/20 = 12 m/s Distance covered by Train K in 50 seconds = 12 x 50 = 600 mts. But it crosses Train L in 50 seconds Therefore, the length of the Train L is = 600 - 240 = 360 mts.
