The train is 240 meters long, and the platform is 650 meters long.

When a train passes a platform, it must cover both its own length and the length of the platform.

So total distance=240 + 650 = 890meters.

There is no need to add both lengths.
The question is only for the platform. So why do we add both?

Please anyone explain to me?
