A train passes an electrical pole in 20 seconds and passes a platform 250 m long in 45 seconds. Find the length of the train:
Let the length of the train = L
Length of the platform (l) = 250 m
The train passes the electrical pole in 20 seconds
$$\therefore\ $$Speed of the train = $$\frac{L}{20}$$ m/sec
The train passes the platform in 45 seconds
$$\therefore\ $$Speed of the train = $$\frac{L+250}{45}$$ m/sec
$$=$$> $$\frac{L}{20}=\frac{L+250}{45}$$
$$=$$> $$\frac{L}{4}=\frac{L+250}{9}$$
$$=$$> $$9\text{L}=4\text{L}+1000$$
$$=$$> $$5\text{L}=1000$$
$$=$$> $$\text{L}=$$ 200 m
$$\therefore\ $$Length of the train = 200 m
Hence, the correct answer is Option C
