A train passes a static observer in 10 seconds and a platform 150 meters long in 16 seconds. Find the length of the train. MCQ with Answer and Explanation
Explanation:
Let original speed be s. 240 / s - 240 / (s + 10) = 1 => 240(10) = s(s + 10) => 2400 = s(s + 10). Solving s^2 + 10s - 2400 = 0 gives (s - 40)(s + 50) = 0. Since speed is positive, s = 40 km/h.
