Question 99
600 meters long train is running at the speed of 72 kmph. If it crosses a tunnel in 1 minute. then the length of the tunnel (in meters) is
Solution
Let length of the tunnel = x
Length of the train = 600 m
Speed of the train = 72 km/h = 72 x $$\frac{1000}{3600}$$ m/sec = 20 m/sec
Time = 1 min = 60 sec
Speed = $$\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}}$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ 20 = $$\frac{600+\text{x}}{60}$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ x + 600 = 1200
$$\Rightarrow$$ x = 600 m
$$\therefore\ $$Length of the tunnel = 600 m
