Distance between two poles is 50 meters. A train goes by 48 at a speed of kmph. In one minute how many poles will be crossed by the train ?

• If speed is to be read as 48 km/hr
  then speed in mtrs/sec = 48*5/18 = 40/3 mtrs/sec
  Distance travelled in 60 secs= 60*40/3 = 800 mtrs.
  No of gaps ( between poles) covered by train in 1 min = 800/50 =16
  no of poles covered in 1 min = 16+1=17

• 60min-----------48km
  hence 1min-------------(48/60)km=800m
  
  50m-------------crossing 1 pole
  hence 800m------------crossing(800/50)poles=16...

• 48 Km/ hr = 48/60 Km/min => 0.8 Km/min = 0.8*1000 m/min
  = 800 m/min
  as each pole is at 50 meter
  = 800/50 = 16 poles in one minute

• 0.8sec poles will be crossed by the train
• 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(12)
• 17 poles
  1 is starting also

• if s=d/t and the distance is d=st
  so d=1200 m
  1200/50 ans 24
