A train traveling at 72 kmph crosses a platform in 30 seconds and a man standing on the platform in 19 seconds. What is the length of the platform in meters?
Choose the correct choice from the following options.
A) 220 meters B) 360 meters C) 420 meters D) 600 meters E) can not be determined

Rationale: "speed of the train in metres / sec = 72000 / 3600 = 20 distance travelled by train to cross the platform = 30 * 20 = 600 = length of train + length of platform distance travelled by train to cross the man = 19 * 20 = 380 = length of train length of platform = 600 - 380 = 220 answer : a"
Answer: A
