A train 240 m long passes a pole in 24 seconds. How long will it take to pass a platform 650 m long?

A train 240 m long passes a pole in 24 seconds. How long will it take to pass a platform 650 m long?

Explanation

Length of the train = 240 m

Time taken to pass the pole = 24 seconds

Speed of the train = Distance / Time = 240 m / 24 s = 10 m/s

Total distance to be covered = Length of train + Length of platform = 240 m + 650 m = 890 m

Time taken to pass the platform = Total distance / Speed = 890 m / 10 m/s = 89 seconds
