Q.

A train 800 metres long is running at a speed of 78 km/hr. If it crosses a tunnel in 1 minute, then the length of the tunnel (in meters) is :

View Answer

Correct choice: C

Explanation:

Speed =[ 78 x ( 5/18 ) ] m/sec = 65/3 m/sec. Time = 1 minute = 60 sec. Let the length of the tunnel be x metres. Then, [ (800 + x )/ 60 ]= 65/3 3(800 + x) = 3900 x = 500.
