A high-speed train clears a stationary post column signal mast in 8 seconds and clears across the full station platform itself, which measures 240 meters long, in 20 seconds. Find the speed index of the train in km/h.
A. 72 km/h
B. 80 km/h
C. 64 km/h
D. 84 km/h
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Time taken to cross the platform span alone = 20 - 8 = 12 seconds. Speed of train = 240 / 12 = 20 m/s. In km/h index = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.
