    Question

    What time (in seconds) is required for a 238 m long train to cross a 702 m long tunnel, if the train travels at a speed of 36 km/h?

    A.

    94

    B.

    90

    C.

    100

    D.

    104

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    Length of train = 238 m

    Length of tunnel = 702 m

    Speed of train = 36 km/h

    Formula Used:

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

    Speed (in m/s) = Speed (in km/h)×518 \frac{\text{Speed (in km/h)} \times 5}{18}​​

    Solution:

    Total distance = 238 + 702 = 940 m

    Speed in m/s = 36×10003600 \frac{36 \times 1000}{3600}​ = 10 m/s

    Time  = 94010=94 seconds \frac{940}{10} = 94 \text{ seconds}​​
