Speed= (240*1000)/3600

I think answer is 65 sec. Why did you add 240 and 650 no need to add?

Swamy said:   1 decade ago
Well,

24 sec ---- 240 mt.

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

I'm so confused answer is 65 or 89.

240 mtrs -- 24 sec.
890 mtrs-- x sec.

ie..890 * 24/240 = 89 sec.

I think answer is 65 sec. Because there is not mention total time.

I also think 65 sec is correct. 240 m is the length of the train.
