A goods train runs at the speed of 72 kmph and crosses a 280 m long platform in 26 seconds. What is the length of the goods train?  Choose the correct option:
A) 230 m
B) 270m
C) 240m
D) 832m
E) 270m
Speed =	(72 x	5/18)m/sec	= 20 m/sec.   Time = 26 sec.   Let the length of the train be x metres.   Then,	x + 280/26	= 20   x + 280 = 520   x = 240.   Answer:240m
