Aptitude - Problems on Trains - Discussion

Discussion Forum : Problems on Trains - General Questions (Q.No. 1)
1.
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.

(sqrt(3N))^3/2 = 90

How to find N value from this problem?

From the question we can predict speed= distance/hour
((by speed=60 km/hr)note the km/hr)
As to calculate for 9 sec I am converting the whole things to seconds
(i.e.)speed=60000/3600=16.666666(remember this is for one second)

therefore for 9 seconds
16.666666*9= 150

@Contactjerin

Feet to Meter conversion: 1 feet = 0.3048 meter
Meter to Feet conversion: 1 meter = 3.28083 feet

This is what I mentioned already in this discussion.

You can easily find the answer for your question that is:

3.28083 feet = 1 meter.

Any one know the how many feet is one meter?

Let length of the train be 'x' metres...
Speed of the train = 60km/hr(given)
Time = 9seconds(given)

refer the formulas for train problems...

As the time is given in seconds and answers are given in metre(train length) we are in need to convert from km/hr to m/s
km/hr = 1000m/(60min*60sec) = 5/18 m/s

Length of the train(distance covered a post)= speed * time
= (60*(5/18))*9
= (50/3)*9
= 150 m

For the train related formulas,check the READ MORE in Left corner(Important formulas)...

Why se converting m/sec into km/sec?
