The length of the bridge, which a train 130 metres long and travelling at 45 km/hr can cross in 30 seconds, is:
200 m
225 m
245 m
250 m
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.

First of all arragne them in D= ST.
S = D/T or T = D/S.

Distance = velocity x time.
130+x = (25/2)x30,
x = 245.

@Rahul.

Your explanation is clear my doubt thank you.

D= S * T.

D = 45 * 5/18 * 30 = 375m,
375-130=245m.

260+2x=750.
2x=750-260,
2x=490,
And x = 490/2 = 245m.

4.5x 5/18 = 12.5
12.5 x 30 = 375
375 - 130 = 245 ans.

@Rajesh.

We take 5/18 to convert from km/h into m/s.
