A train passes two bridge lengths 210m and 122m in 25sec and 17sec respectively. let's find the length and speed of the train |
|
Answer» -step EXPLANATION:We ASSUME the train's length is X the train covers a total distance of 210+x and 122+x(210+x)/25=(122+x)/17 = speed of the train-> (210+x)*17=(122+x)*25-> 210*17+17x=122*25+25x-> (210*17) - (122*25) = 8X-> x= 65So the length of the train is 65mThe speed of the train = (210+65)/25 or (122+65)/17 =11m/sec |
