The length of the bridge, which a train 130 metres long and travelling at 45 km/hr can cross in 30 seconds, is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| Speed = |  |
45 x | 5 |  m/sec |
= | |
25 | m/sec. |
| 18 | 2 |
Time = 30 sec.
Let the length of bridge be x metres.
| Then, | 130 + x | = | 25 |
| 30 | 2 |
2(130 + x) = 750
x = 245 m.

Well,
36 sec --- 450 mt.
30 sec --- 375 mt.
Then, 375-135 = 275 mt.
36 sec --- 450 mt.
30 sec --- 375 mt.
Then, 375-135 = 275 mt.

45000 meters/3600 seconds = 12.5.
12.5*30 sec = 375.
375-130 = 245.
12.5*30 sec = 375.
375-130 = 245.
