A train 360 m long is running at a speed of 45 km/hr. In what time will it pass a bridge 140 m long?
Options:
(A) 40 sec
(B) 42 sec
(C) 45 sec
(D) 48 sec
(E) 58 sec Stream of consciousness:
Speed = 45 * 5/18 = 25/2 m/sec
Total distance covered = 360 + 140 = 500 m
Required time = 500 * 2/25 = 40 sec
Thus, the answer is (A).
