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.

Train = 130.
Bridge = x.
Distance = 45,
1000/3600 = 5/18.
45 * 5/18 * 30 = 375,
375 - 130 = 245 = C.
Bridge = x.
Distance = 45,
1000/3600 = 5/18.
45 * 5/18 * 30 = 375,
375 - 130 = 245 = C.

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

(0.130+x) = (45 * 30)/3600.
If assume x is bridge length;
OR, 0.130 + x = 0.375.
OR, X = 0.375 - 0.130.
OR, X = 0.245 KM OR 245 M.
Am I right?

Train Speed is 45 km/sec = (45*5)/18 = 25/2 m/s.
= (25*15)/(2*15) m/s,
= 375/30 m/s.
375 m in 30 sec, so bridge length is = 375 - 130 = 245m.
= (25*15)/(2*15) m/s,
= 375/30 m/s.
375 m in 30 sec, so bridge length is = 375 - 130 = 245m.

Length of train = 130m.
Length of bridge = ?.
1hr = 3600sec.
= 3600/30.
= 120.
1km = 1000m.
= 45000/120.
= 375m.
The length of the train is less in total.
375-130 = 245.
Length of train = 130m.
Length of bridge = ?.
1hr = 3600sec.

The length of the train is less in total.
375-130 = 245.

I have solved this problem in a different way, is this right way to solve?
speed=25/2 m/sec
length of the bridge be x m
total distance = speed * time
x + 130 = 30 * 25/2
x + 130 = 375
x = 245 m
is the above method to solve this problem right?
Please help.

Hi, I had my own solustion on that
45 km/hr
1km = 1000m
1hr = 3600 sec
45 km/hr convert to metter
=45000 m
=3600 sec.
45000/3600
=12.5
Since 30 sec can cross the bridge
=12.5*30
=375-130
=245m
45 km/hr
1km = 1000m
1hr = 3600 sec
45 km/hr convert to metter
=45000 m
=3600 sec.
45000/3600
=12.5
Since 30 sec can cross the bridge
=12.5*30
=375-130
=245m

(45000/3600*30)-130 = 245.

Hi friends I did in a different way:
Let the length of train b = 130.
Let the length of bridge b = x.
Therefore distance = x+130.
Time = 30 sec.
S = 45 km/h = 45*5/18 = 25/2 m/s.
So, in this case distance = 375 m.
So, d = x+130 substituting the value of d (distance).
We get 375-130 = x.
x = 245m.
Let the length of train b = 130.
Let the length of bridge b = x.
Therefore distance = x+130.
Time = 30 sec.
S = 45 km/h = 45*5/18 = 25/2 m/s.
So, in this case distance = 375 m.
So, d = x+130 substituting the value of d (distance).
We get 375-130 = x.
x = 245m.

We know that:
Time = Distance/Speed.
Suppose length of the bridge is X mtr.
Length of the train is 130 mtr.
So total distance = 130+X.
30 = (130+X)/45*(5/18).
Then the value of X is 245 mtr.
Time = Distance/Speed.
Suppose length of the bridge is X mtr.
Length of the train is 130 mtr.
So total distance = 130+X.
30 = (130+X)/45*(5/18).
Then the value of X is 245 mtr.
