    A train running at speed of 90 km / hour crosses a platform double its length in 36 seconds. What is the length of the platform in metres?

    A)  450

    B)  200

    C)  300

    D)  Cannot be determined

    E)  None of these

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

     Let the length of the platform be 2x metre. Speed of train = 90 kmph \[=\left( \frac{90\times 5}{18} \right)\] m / sec = 25 m/sec. Again, Speed of train \[=\frac{Lengh\text{ }of\text{ }\left( platform\text{ }+\text{ }train \right)}{Time\text{ }taken\text{ }in\text{ }crossing}\] \[\Rightarrow 25=\frac{2x+x}{36}\] \[\Rightarrow 3x=25\times 36\] \[\therefore x=\frac{25\times 36}{3}=300\] \[\therefore \] Length of platform = 2x = 600 metre
