Question

State the following statement is True or False
A train passes a station platform in $18$ seconds and a man standing on the platform in $10$ seconds. If the speed of the train is $36$ km/hr. Then the length of train is greater than the length of platform.(length of train be $100$ m)

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

From the given information, we have

Speed $=(36\times \frac{5}{18})=10$ m/sec

Length of the train $=10\times 10=100$ m

Let the length of the platform be $x$ metres.

Then, $\frac{x+100}{18}=10$

$\Rightarrow x+100=180$

$\Rightarrow x=80$ m

It can be seen that the length of the train greater than the length of platform.
