Correct Answer: 40 sec
Explanation:
Step 1: Understand the given information
Step 2: Convert the speed to meters per second
1 km/h = 5/18 m/s
So, 45 km/h = 45 × 5/18 = 12.5 m/s
Step 3: Use the formula: Time = Distance / Speed
Time = 500 / 12.5 = 40 seconds
Answer: 40 seconds
The train will take 40 seconds to cross the bridge completely.
This question involves the concept of relative motion where the train has to cover both its own length and the bridge’s length. Converting the speed into m/s ensures unit consistency while applying the distance-speed-time formula.
