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.

Why you added train length and bridge length?

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

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