A goods train runs at the speed of 72 kmph and crosses a 250 m long platform in 26 seconds. What is the length of the goods train?
Explanation
Speed = | ![]() |
72 x | 5 | ![]() |
= 20 m/sec. |
18 |
Time = 26 sec.
Let the length of the train be x metres.
Then, | x + 250 | = 20 |
26 |
x + 250 = 520
x = 270.
