A locomotive express train passes a milestone column track point in 15 seconds flat. If the speed index of the train records at 72 km/h, find the length of the train layout. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Explanation:
Time taken to cross the bridge alone = 15 - 9 = 6 seconds. Speed of train = 150 / 6 = 25 m/s. Length of train = Speed * Time to cross sign post = 25 * 9 = 225 meters.

Explanation:
Let length of train be L. Speed = L/30. Also, Speed = (L+110)/40. So L/30 = (L+110)/40 => 4L = 3L + 330 => L = 330 meters.

Explanation:
Total distance = 120 + 280 = 400 meters. Speed = 400 / 20 = 20 m/s. In km/h = 20 * (18/5) = 72 km/h.
