    A 266 m long train passes through a 559 m long tunnel in 66 sec. Find the speed of the train.
    Question

    A 266 m long train passes through a 559 m long tunnel in 66 sec. Find the speed of the train.

    A.

    51 kmph

    B.

    34 kmph

    C.

    45 kmph

    D.

    43 kmph

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    Train length = 266 m
    Tunnel length = 559 m
    Time = 66 sec
    Formula Used:
    Speed = Total DistanceTime\frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Time}}​​
    Total Distance = Train length + Tunnel length
    Conversion: 1 m/s = 18/5 kmph
    Solution:
    Total Distance = 266 + 559 = 825 m.
    Speed in m/s = 825 / 66 = 12.5 m/s.
    Speed in kmph = 12.5×185=2.5×1812.5 \times \frac{18}{5} = 2.5 \times 18 = 45 kmph
    So the correct answer is (c)
