A train passes a station platform in 36 seconds and a man standing on the platform in 24 seconds. If the speed of the train is 54 km/hr, what is the length of the platform?
Choose the correct choice from the following:
A) 180
B) 240
C) 288
D) 267
E) 211
Speed = (54 * 5/18) m/sec = 15 m/sec. Length of the train = (15 x 24)m = 360 m. Let the length of the platform be x meters. Then, (x + 360)/36 = 15 ==&gt; x + 360 = 540 ==&gt; x = 180 m.180nswer: 180
