A train passes a platform in 36 seconds. The same train passes a man standing on the platform in 20 seconds. If the speed of the train is 54 km/hr, The length of the platform is
Options
A) 240 B) 250 C) 260 D) 230 E) 220

Rationale: "speed of the train = 54 km / hr = ( 54 × 10 ) / 36 m / s = 15 m / s length of the train = speed × time taken to cross the man = 15 × 20 = 300 m let the length of the platform = l time taken to cross the platform = ( 300 + l ) / 15 = > ( 300 + l ) / 15 = 36 = > 300 + l = 15 × 36 = 540 = > l = 540 - 300 = 240 meter answer is a ."
Answer: A
