A goods train runs at the speed of 72 kmph and crosses a 250 m long platform in 24 seconds. What is the length of the goods train? Choose one
A) 230 m  B) 240 m  C) 260 m  D) 270 m  E) None of these
Explanation:   Speed =[ 72 x (5/18) ]m/sec= 20 m/sec.   Time = 24 sec.   Let the length of the train be x metres.   Then,[ (x+250)/24 ]= 20   =&gt; x + 250 = 480   =&gt; x = 230. 230 mnswer: 230 m
