Question

In what time will a train 100 m long cross an electric pole, if its speed is 144 km/h?

A.

4.25 seconds

B.

5 seconds

C.

2.5 seconds

D.

12.5 seconds

Correct option is C

Given:

Length of the train = 100  m\, \text{m}​​

Speed of the train = 144  km/h\, \text{km/h}​​

Formula Used:

Time =DistanceSpeed \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}​​

Solution:

First, convert the speed from km/h to m/second

144 km/h=144×10003600=40 m/s144 \, \text{km/h} = \frac{144 \times 1000}{3600} = 40 \, \text{m/s}​​

Now, using the formula:

Time=100 m40 m/s=2.5 secondsTime = \frac{100 \, \text{m}}{40 \, \text{m/s}} = 2.5 \, \text{seconds}​​

Therefore, the train will cross the electric pole in 2.5 seconds.
