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.

Given, train length s = 130.
Let, the bridge length is x.
Total passing length = velocity * time.
S + x = vt.
130 + x = 45 * (5/18) * 30.
x = 245m.

1 km = 1000 m,
1 hr has 3600 sec.
So, 1 km/hr = 1000m/3600s = 5/18 m/s.
To convert the speed from km/hr to m/s, multiply the speed by 5/18.
To convert the speed from m/s to km/hr, multiply the speed by 18/5.
1 hr has 3600 sec.
So, 1 km/hr = 1000m/3600s = 5/18 m/s.
To convert the speed from km/hr to m/s, multiply the speed by 5/18.
To convert the speed from m/s to km/hr, multiply the speed by 18/5.

The speed of train in sec = 45000/3600 = 12.5sec.
distance travel by train in 30 sec = 12.5 * 30 = 375m,
lenght of train = 130m.
Length of bridge = distance traveled by the train - length of train.
= 375-130 = 245m.
distance travel by train in 30 sec = 12.5 * 30 = 375m,
lenght of train = 130m.
Length of bridge = distance traveled by the train - length of train.
= 375-130 = 245m.

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.

A= 130m.
Speed of train = 45km/hr in 30 seconds.
45 = 30 * 5/18.
X = 150/18 * 45 m/s.
X = 375m/s.
Length = X - A.
375-130 = 245.
Speed of train = 45km/hr in 30 seconds.
45 = 30 * 5/18.
X = 150/18 * 45 m/s.
X = 375m/s.
Length = X - A.
375-130 = 245.

So the train must go faster than the man to pass him.
S = D/T.
Meters to km = 18/5,
s = d/t,
d = 125 x 18/5 = 450.
t = 10.
s = 450/10 = 45.
The speed we calculate (45 km/hr) is the extra speed the train has compared to the man.
45 + 5 = 50km/hr.
S = D/T.
Meters to km = 18/5,
s = d/t,
d = 125 x 18/5 = 450.
t = 10.
s = 450/10 = 45.
