  • Question
  • A train 400 m long is running at a speed of 54 km/hr. If it crosses a tunnel in 2 minutes. Then what is the length of tunnel?


  • Options
  • A. 1200 m
  • B. 1400 m
  • C. 1600 m
  • D. 1800 m

  • Correct Answer
  • 1400 m 

    Explanation

    Speed of train in m/sec = (speed of train in km/hr) x 5/18

    ? speed of train in m/sec = 54 x 5/18 = 15 m/sec

    Time taken to cross the tunnel = 2 minutes = 120 sec

    Therefore, Total length covered by train in crossing the tunnel = Speed of train x Time taken to cross the tunnel

    = 15 m/sec x 120 sec = 1800 m

    Now, we know that
    Total length covered by train in crossing the tunnel = Length of train + Length of tunnel

    Given, Length of train =400m and
    Calculated above, Length covered by train in crossing the tunnel = 1800 m

    Therefore, Length of tunnel = 1800m- 400m = 1400m
