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.

Hi,
I solved it differently.
Like,
Total speed= 45*5/18=25/2*30=375,
Actual speed of the train= 375-130=245.
Ans: 245.

45*5/18=75/6*30=375-130=245m.

@Abd.
I have solution to ur question,
Speed = 45 x (5/18) m/sec = (25/2) m/sec.
Time = 30 sec.
distance = speed x time.
=(25/2)*30.
=750/2.
Multiplication 25 with 30, is 750.

From this formula 2 (130 + x) = 750 ,shouldn't the 2 outside multiple both 130 and x?
I believe it shd be;
160+2x =750,
2x=750-160,
2x=590/2,
x=295m,
2(130+x)=750.
