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?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| Formula for converting from km/hr to m/s: X km/hr = |  |
X x | 5 |  |
m/s. |
| 18 |
| Therefore, Speed = | |
45 x | 5 | m/sec |
= | 25 | m/sec. |
| 18 | 2 |
Total distance to be covered = (360 + 140) m = 500 m.
| Formula for finding Time = | |
Distance | |
| Speed |
 Required time = |
|
500 x 2 | sec |
= 40 sec. |
| 25 |

Train Length=360 Speed=45km/h=45*(5/18)=12.15m/s.
So Train Speed is 12.15m/s.
Bridge Length = 140.
Speed = Distance/Time.
12.15 = 360+140/time.
Time = 360+140/12.15.
= 500/12.5.
= 40.
So, the Time Require to cross 140m Bridge is 40sec.
So Train Speed is 12.15m/s.
Bridge Length = 140.
Speed = Distance/Time.
12.15 = 360+140/time.
Time = 360+140/12.15.
= 500/12.5.
= 40.
So, the Time Require to cross 140m Bridge is 40sec.

Why 140m is added?

Why we have to add the length of the train?

450mts ----> 36sec.
500mts ---> 40sec.
500mts ---> 40sec.

Why we are adding the train length with bridge length?

But we added 500 with 140.

Why (x*5/18) mps?

Given,
length of the train =360m,
speed of train =45km/h,
length of the bridge =140m,
time =T.
Now convert 45km/h=45*5/18=225/18m/s.
Total length=360m+140m=500m.
We know speed =distance/time.
=> 225/18=500/T.
=> T=500*18/225.
=> T=40s.
length of the train =360m,
speed of train =45km/h,
length of the bridge =140m,
time =T.
Now convert 45km/h=45*5/18=225/18m/s.
Total length=360m+140m=500m.
We know speed =distance/time.
=> 225/18=500/T.
=> T=500*18/225.
=> T=40s.

@All.
First of all, 360*5/18=1800/18=100 and finally 140-100=40 ans.
