    A train, with a uniform speed, crosses a platform, 162 m long, in 18 s and another platform, 120 m long, in 15 s. The speed of the train is

    A)  4km/h             

    B)  42 km/h

    C)  50.4 km/h        

    D)  67.2 km/h

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let the length of the train be x metre. \[\therefore \]      \[\frac{x+162}{18}=\frac{x+120}{15}=\] Speed of the train \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{x+162}{6}=\frac{x+120}{5}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[6x+720=5x+810\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=810-720=90\] \[\therefore \]      Speed of the train \[=\frac{90+162}{18}m/s\]             \[=\frac{252}{18}\times \frac{18}{5}\text{km/h}=50.4\,\text{km/h}\]
