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.

Hi @Anjaneyulu,
5/18 is just to convert the speed km/hr into m/s.

1 km/hr = 1km/1hr.
= 1000 m/3600 sec,
= 10/36 m/s,
= 5/18 m/s.
= 1000 m/3600 sec,
= 10/36 m/s,
= 5/18 m/s.

Is 45 km/hr relative speed between the bridge and the train?

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

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

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