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 distance taken by the train is nothing but the time taken by the train to cross the pole so ... the train passing the pole(time) is 24sec.
ie 240m ->24
slly
650->65sec.
The total time taken by the train to passing the station is=65+24=89sec.
ie 240m ->24
slly
650->65sec.
The total time taken by the train to passing the station is=65+24=89sec.

Why do you want the pole length here you just wana find the length of the platform we use the pole length as the reference point only to calculate the length of the train for platform instead of pole length add the platform length.

Data is not sufficient where is the pole length ?????
if the train is passing a platform of length 650m
then time taken = (650+240)/speed of train
speed of train = (length of train + length of pole) / 24 sec
= (240 + length of pole)/24 sec
note : 240/24 is not always correct ...
if the train is passing a platform of length 650m
then time taken = (650+240)/speed of train
speed of train = (length of train + length of pole) / 24 sec
= (240 + length of pole)/24 sec
note : 240/24 is not always correct ...

Hi, I think
1.first we have to find speed of the train
s=240/24=10(in cond of the the train sross the pole)
2.then the same cross the platform of 630m then t=?
s=d/t
t=d/s=(240+650)/10(here we have to add the both len of train and platform)
=89s

The question is how long the train takes to travel the platform. Then why do we add the train length here? can you please explain. Itz bit confusing.

The question asked is only How long will it take to pass a platform 650 m long. Why we should add 250? Can any one explain?

I think this is simple
if
train 240 m long passes a pole in 24 seconds.
i.e 240 m : 24 sec
then 650 m : ? sec
and the ans is is 65sec
may this ans is also correct
will u plz explain why r u add 240& 650?

Since the train has to cover the the length of the platform and its own distance..we have too take the total distance of platform and the length of train.
