An express train takes 4 seconds to enter tunnel which is 1 km long. If it is traveling at 108 km an hour, how long will it take to pass completely through the tunnel ?

Correct Answer: 37.33 sec

Explanation:

Speed = 108 km/hr
enter a tunnel,, means that the train covers a distance equal to its own length
so (108 x 5/18) = x/4 where x= length of train
hence x = 120 mtrs
to pass completely train has to travel a distance = (x + tunnel length) that is 1120 mtrs.
so (1120/t) = (108x5/18)
t = 37.33 sec
