A train 240 m long passes a pole in 24 seconds. How long will it take to pass a platform 650 m long?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| Speed = |  |
240 |  m/sec = 10 m/sec. |
| 24 |
 Required time = |
|
240 + 650 | sec = 89 sec. |
| 10 |

The time taken by the train to cross the pole so the train passing the pole (time) is 24sec.
240m = 24secs.
650m = 65secs.
The time taken by the train to passing the station is 65+24 = 89sec.
240m = 24secs.
650m = 65secs.
The time taken by the train to passing the station is 65+24 = 89sec.

240+650/10.
Why do we divide it by 10 sec finally?

Platform: 650 m
Train: 240 m.
If we didn't add distance it means. 65 seconds but the train still in platform.
So add the time to cross the pole with that. Now the correct time is 89 sec.
Train: 240 m.
If we didn't add distance it means. 65 seconds but the train still in platform.
So add the time to cross the pole with that. Now the correct time is 89 sec.

Train distance + Platform distance = Total time.
Train speed, hence 240+650 = 89.
Speed = 10 m/s.
Train speed, hence 240+650 = 89.
Speed = 10 m/s.

Because 10 m/s is speed of train.
Distance = speed/time.
(240+650) = 10/T.
890 (distance).
Time (T) = ?
10 (speed).
Time = 89 sec.
Distance = speed/time.
(240+650) = 10/T.
890 (distance).
Time (T) = ?
10 (speed).
Time = 89 sec.

Well,
24 sec ---- 240 mt.
? sec ---- ((650+240)*24)/240 = 89 sec.
24 sec ---- 240 mt.
? sec ---- ((650+240)*24)/240 = 89 sec.

If 89 sec is the answer then the 890 m long. It is solved answer said 10 m/s. So if the train is 650 m then 65 sec will be the answer.

In the question, they have not mentioned that the pole is also on the platform, then how should we consider the train length upto pole also?

The train of 240 m long passes a platform of length 650 m, that means it crosses its own length and the length of platform together.

We have to add train length because train has to travel the whole length of platform and it has to cover it's own length.
