    A moving train passes a platform 50 m long in 14 s and a lamp-post in 10 s. The speed of the train is

    A) 24 km/h

    B)  36 km/h

    C)  40 km/h

    D)  45 km/h

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Suppose length of train = x m According to the question, \[\frac{x+50}{14}=\frac{x}{10}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[14x=10x+500\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[4x=500\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=\frac{500}{4}=125\,\,\text{m}\] Therefore, speed \[=\frac{125}{10}\times \frac{18}{5}=45\,\,\text{km/h}\]
