A train 240 m long passes a pole in 24 seconds. How long will it take to pass a platform 650 m long?

Given

• Train length = 240 m
• Time to pass a pole = 24 s ⇒ speed
• Platform length = 650 m

Step 1: Find speed
Speed = distance/time = 240 / 24 = 10 m/s

Step 2: Time to pass platform
Total distance = 240 + 650 = 890 mTime = 890 / 10 = 89 s

Tip: For platforms, add train and platform lengths.
