  1. A train passes two bridges of lengths 500 m and 250 m in 100 seconds and 60 seconds respectively. The length of the train is :
    1. 152 m
    2. 125 m
    3. 250 m
    4. 120 m
Correct Option: B

Length of train = x metre (let)

Speed of train
=
(Length of train and bridge)
Time taken in crossing

⇒ 
x + 500
=
x + 250
10060

⇒ 
x + 500
=
x + 250
53

⇒  5x + 1250 = 3x + 1500
⇒  5x – 3x = 1500 – 1250
⇒  2x = 250
⇒  x =
250
= 125 metre
