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.

Why you added train length and bridge length?

Agnel said:   7 years ago
45*5/18 = 12.5,
12.5*30 = 375,
375-130 = 245.

How the equation (130 + x) /2 = 25/2 comes ?

Santosh said:   1 decade ago
Why we are subtracting the length of bridge?

Ahmad said:   7 years ago
(130 + x)/30 = 25/2.

What is meant by this?

45 * (5÷18) = (Lb +130)/30.
Lb = 245 m.
