Q.

A train moves past a telegraph post and a bridge 264 m long in 8 seconds and 20 seconds respectively. What is the speed of the train?

View Answer

Correct choice: D

Explanation:

Let the length of the train be x metres and its speed by y m/sec.

Then, x = 8     =>     x = 8y
y
Now, x + 264 = y
20

=> 8y + 264 = 20y

=> y = 22.

Therefore Speed = 22 m/sec = ( 22 x 18 ( km/hr = 79.2 km/hr.
