3.
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.

How do you take 5/18?

1 km --- 1000 metre & 1 hour --- 3600sec whenever you divide 1km/1 hour then 1000 metre/3600 sec equals to 5/18 m/s.

Distance = speed*time,
D= 45* 5/18*30,
D= 5*5/2* 30,
D= 5 * 5 * 15 = 375,
D= 375- 130= 245.
D= 45* 5/18*30,
D= 5*5/2* 30,
D= 5 * 5 * 15 = 375,
D= 375- 130= 245.

@Sarang you are correct this is the easiest way to solve this problem.
As
Distance= time * speed.
D=45*5/18=25/2(speed)*30(time),
Actual distance=25 * 15=375.
Then bridge distance=Actual distance (375)- train Distance (130)=245.
As
Distance= time * speed.
D=45*5/18=25/2(speed)*30(time),
Actual distance=25 * 15=375.
Then bridge distance=Actual distance (375)- train Distance (130)=245.

45*5/18 = 12.5,
12.5*30 = 375,
375-130 = 245.
12.5*30 = 375,
375-130 = 245.

Distance= Time * speed.
1km=1000m.
1hr=3600sec.
Time=d/t.
=1000/3600=5/18.
There distance: 5/18*45=25/2.
Length=t/d*s.
130+x=25/2*30.
130+x=375.
X = 375-130 = 245.
1km=1000m.
1hr=3600sec.
Time=d/t.
=1000/3600=5/18.
There distance: 5/18*45=25/2.
Length=t/d*s.
130+x=25/2*30.
130+x=375.
X = 375-130 = 245.

Shouldn't we are considering from the time the train's front enters the bridge till the tail is completely off the bridge as 30 seconds?
Then it would be 375- (130+130) =115m.
Then it would be 375- (130+130) =115m.

45 km/hr.
45000/60min = 750m /min.
travelling 750m per minute,
750m/30sec = 375m,
than 375m-130m = 245m.
Is this correct?
45000/60min = 750m /min.
travelling 750m per minute,
750m/30sec = 375m,
than 375m-130m = 245m.
Is this correct?

So, guys is this assumption is correct? Please tell me.
Assumption is if I thinking about a total distance, that means, does it include train's distance and the distance it traveled?
