A Train Travelling At Constant Speed Crosses A 96m Long Platform In 12 Seconds And Another 141m Long Platform In 15 Seconds. The Length Of The Train And It’s Speed Are?

Answer»

LET the length of the TRAIN be x metres.

=>(96+x)/12=(141+x)/15

=> 15x(96 +x) = 12 x (141 + x) 

=> 3x = (1692 -1440) = 252 

=> X = 84m 

Speed of the train = 15 m/sec 

= (15 x 18/5)kmph = 54kmph.
