A train running at the speed of 60 km/hr crosses a pole in 9 seconds. What is the length of the train?
120 metres
180 metres
324 metres
150 metres
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Speed = 60 x 5 m/sec = 50 m/sec.
18 3

Length of the train = (Speed x Time).

Length of the train = 50 x 9 m = 150 m.

Distance = Speed x time.

Length = (60 x 5/18) x 9.

= 150 MTRS.

Easy method.

60 km per hr.

1hr = 60 mins.

That means.

Per km = 60km/60mins = 1.

Per km 1 min.

Per km = 1000 meters.

Per min = 60 sec.

Train is running per second = 1000/60 = 16.666 mtrs.

Cross the pole in 9 second = 16.666*9 = 150 mtrs.

@Udai.

Its very easy to convert m/sec in to km/hour,
Just multiply 18/5.

For example if we want to convert 5meter/sec in to km/sec then we will convert meter into km and sec in to hour.

That is 5meter=(5/1000)km and 1sec=(1/3600)hour.

So 5m/sec={(5/1000)/(1/3600)} km/hour.

or (5*3600)/(1*1000) km/hour

or (5*36)/(10) km /hour

or (5*18)/(5) km/hour

or 5 km/hour.

Total exp= 15%+55%= 70%

Let salary rs.100

Save= 100-70= Rs.30%

Rs.30%= 12750.

100% = 12750/30x100=42500.

Speed convert km/h to m/sec speed=[60*5/18]m/sec
speed=[50/3]m/sec.

Distance=[speed*time]
Length of the train=[50/3*9]
=150m.

Speed = [60*5/18]m/sec=50/3 m/sec.

50/3*9 = 150mtrs.
