    Question

     A train 160 meter long takes 8 seconds to pass a man standing on a platform 200 meter long. How long does it take to cross the platform?


    A.

    20 seconds

    B.

    18 seconds

    C.

    40 seconds

    D.

    80 seconds

    Correct option is B

    The train is 160 meters long and it takes 8 seconds to pass a man.

    Speed = Distance / Time = 160 meters / 8 seconds = 20 meters per second.

    ​Time = Total distance / Speed

    = 360 meters / 20 meters per second

    = 18 seconds.

    The train needs to pass the entire length of the platform, so the total distance is the length of the train + the length of the platform.

    Total distance = 160 meters + 200 meters  = 360 meters.
