The speed of a train that is 250 meter in length passing from a railway platform is 150 km/hour. The length of platform is 500 meter. What is the time taken by the train to cross the platform?	Choose the correct answer
A) 1 minute B) 2 minute C) 3 minute D) 4 minute E) 5 minute
The time starts when the head of first compartment enters the platform from one side. To cover platform, the train has to cover its own length plus the length of the compartment, that is 250 meter + 500 meter = 750 meter. To cover 150 km or 150x1000 meter=15000 meter, train takes 60 minutes or 60x60=3600 seconds. Therefore, to cover 750 meter, the train would take 180 seconds or 3 minutes.   Answer: 3 minute.
