    Question



    A 500 m long train running at a speed of 100 m/s crosses a tunnel in 10 s. What is the length of the tunnel?

    A.

    200 m

    B.

    500m

    C.

    800 m

    D.

    1000 m

    Correct option is B


    Given
    Length of train = 500m
    Speed = 100 m/s
    Time taken to cross the tunnel = 10 sec.
    Distance = Speed × Time
    Let the length of tunnel be x meter
    Then, the total distance = x + 500
    According to the question,
    x + 500 = 100 × 10 
    x = 1000 - 500 = 500
