A train speeds past a pole in 15 second and a platform 100 m long in 25 second. Its length in metres is

• let x is length of train
  then speed is x/15 or (100+x)/25
  so x/15=(100+x)/25
  25x=15x+1500
  25x-15x=1500
  x=1500/10.
  x=150 meters
  length of train is 150 meters

• let assume train length is x mtr
  speed is y m/s
  t=d/s
  15=x/y so y=x/15
  => x+100/25=y
  => x+100/25=x/15
  x=150 m

• speed = lenght of platform +lenght of pole/time taken
  let lenght of pole be=x,given time =15 seconds
  x/15=x+100/25
  x=1500/10
  x=150mts

• let the length of train be x metre. now to cross the platform train needs to pass its own length too i.e 100+x m so speed of train is (100+x/25) now it crosses its own length of x m in 15 s as pole has no length. speed remains same. hence ((100+x)/25)=x/15 i.e x=150m

• answer is 150 m/s
  as per the question for extra 100 m distance the train took 10 extra seconds so the speed of the train is 10m/s
  and hence the speed is 15*10=150 m/s

• ans- 150,Lt is length of train. then -
  Lt/15=(Lt+100)/25.

• x=length
  y=speed
  y=x/15
  x+100/25=x/25
  x=150

• the ans will be 150m
  let the speed of the train will be s
  a/c to the question s*15+100=s*25
  (here it is the concept of relative speed)
  then we will find s=10m/s
  so the length of the train is s*15=10*15=150m

• x/15=x+100/25 where x is length so x=150
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• s=x/15,s=(100+x)/25
  equate both
  then x/15=(100+x)/25
  => 5x=300+3x
  =>x=150

• Let the length of the train be x
  While passing pole x/15
  While passing platform x+100/25
  so,
  x/15=(x+100)/25
  x/3=(x+100)/5
  5x=3x+300
  2x=200
  x=150
  
  so,
  Ans=150 meter

• Time= Train length(TL)/ speed(S) (for crossing pole)
  15 sec= TL/S......(1)
  Time= TL+ Platform length(PL)/ Speed (for crossing platform)
  25 sec= TL+PL/S.....(2)
  FROM (1) AND (2)
  TL/15=TL+100/25
  TL=150.

• let train length be x,
  speed of train=x/15
  speed of platform = (100-x/25
  (100-x)/25= x/15
  ans: 150 m

• 100/25=4m/sec
  it take 15 sec to cross a pole so length of train=15*4=60m
  
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
• Speed of train will be same in both cases.
  So.. let length of train is=x meter
  now (x+100)/25=x/15
  so x=150 meter
