  • Question
  • Train K crosses a stationary Train L in 50 seconds and a pole in 20 seconds with the same speed. The length of the Train K is 240 meters. What is the length of stationary Train L ?


  • Options
  • A. 60 mts
  • B. 120 mts
  • C. 240 mts
  • D. 360 mts

  • Correct Answer
  • 360 mts 

    Explanation

    Speed of the Train K is given by s = d/t = 240/20 = 12 m/s
    Distance covered by Train K in 50 seconds = 12 x 50 = 600 mts.
    But it crosses Train L in 50 seconds
    Therefore, the length of the Train L is = 600 - 240 = 360 mts.
