    Question



    A train travelling at 72 km/hr. crosses a platform of 160 m in 18 second and another train travelling at 90 km/hr crosses the same platform in 15 second. Find the length of both the trains?

    A.

    160 m

    B.

    180 m

    C.

    140 m

    D.

    400 m

    E.

    415 m

    Correct option is E

    Speed of 1st train =72×5/18
    = 20 m/s
    ∴ Dist travelled by 1st train = 20 × 18
    = 360 m
    ∴ length of train (1st) = 360 – 160 = 200 m
    Speed of 2nd train =90×5/18
    = 25 m/s
    ∴ Distance travelled = 25 × 15
    = 375 m
    ∴ length of 2nd train =375-160
    = 215 m

    required answer = 215 + 200 = 415 m
