Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 500 m Given: Length of train = 700 m Speed of train = 72 km/hr Train crossed the tunnel in 1 minute Concept used: To cross the tunnel train needs to travel = Length of train + length of tunnel Speed × Time = Distance Calculation: Length of train = 700 m Let the length of tunnel be x Time taken to cross the tunnel = 1 minute = 60 sec. Speed = 72 kmph = (72 × 5)/18 = 20 m/sec. To cross the tunnel train needs to travel = Length of train + length of tunnel = 700 + x Now, Speed × Time = Distance 20 × 60 = 700 + x ⇒ x = 1200 – 700 = 500 ∴ Length of tunnel = 500 m. |
