  1. A train 200 m long running at 36 kmph takes 55 seconds to cross a bridge. The length of the bridge is
    1. 375 m.
    2. 300 m.
    3. 350 m.
    4. 325 m.
Correct Option: C

Speed of train = 36kmph

= 36 ×
5
= 10 m/sec.
18

If the length of bridge be x metre, then
10 =
200 + x
55

⇒  200 + x = 550
⇒  x = 550 – 200 = 350 metre.

Second Method :
Here, x = 200 m
u = 36 km/hr,
36 × 5
m/second = 10 m/sec
18

y = ?, t = 55 sec
using
t =
x + y
u

55 =
200 + y
10

y = 550 – 200
y = 350 m
