A train crosses a man on a platform in 10 s and crosses the platform of 260 m in length in 20 s. What is the length of the train?
Given:
Time to cross a man = 10 seconds
Time to cross a platform (260 m) = 20 seconds
We are to find the length of the train
Formula Used:
Speed =
Solution:
Let the length of the train = L meters
Speed of train =m/s
Then, for crossing platform:
L + 260 = 2L
260 = 2L - L = L
L = 260 m

Two trains start from stations A and B towards each other at speeds of 100 km/hour and 120 km/hour, respectively. At the time of their meeting, the second train has covered a distance of 280 km more than that covered by the first train. The distance between the stations A and B is
Two trains are moving in opposite directions at speeds of 140 km/h and 80 km/h. The length of one train is 340 m. The time taken by them to cross each other is 11 seconds. The length (in m) of the other train, correct to 2 decimal places, is:
Two trains having lengths of 210 m and 440 m are running at speeds of 60 km/h and 90 km/h, respectively, in the same direction. The time taken (in minutes) by the faster train, coming from behind, to completely cross the other train is:
Two trains having lengths of 410 m and 440 m are running at speeds of 60 km/h and 70 km/h, respectively, in the same direction. The time taken (in minutes) by the faster train, coming from behind, to completely cross the other train is:
Two trains having lengths of 110 m and 390 m are running at speeds of 120 km/h and 130 km/h in the same direction. The faster train, coming from behind, completely crosses the other in how many minutes?
Two trains are moving in opposite directions at speeds of 60 km/h and 70 km/h. The length of one train is 170 m. The time taken by them to cross each other is 26 seconds. The length (in m) of the other train, correct to 2 decimal places, is:
Two trains having lengths of 370 m and 330 m are running at speeds of 90 km/h and 150 km/h, respectively, in the same direction. The time taken (in minutes) by the faster train, coming from behind, to completely cross the other train is:
Train A leaves station M at 8:25 AM and reaches station N at 3:25 PM on the same day. Train B leaves station N at 10:25 AM and reaches station M at 3:25 PM on the same day. Find the time when trains A and B meet.
A 300-meter-long train can cross a 190-meter-long platform in 14 seconds. If the speed of the train increased by 20%, then find the time (in seconds) taken by the train to cross a man with a speed of 10.8 km/hr in the opposite direction.
