A goods train runs at the speed of 72 kmph and crosses a 250 m long platform in 24 seconds. What is the length of the goods train?	Choose one.
A) 230 m
B) 240 m
C) 260 m
D) 270 m
E) none of these

Rationale: "explanation : speed = [ 72 x ( 5 / 18 ) ] m / sec = 20 m / sec . time = 24 sec . let the length of the train be x metres . then , [ ( x + 250 ) / 24 ] = 20 = > x + 250 = 480 = > x = 230 . answer : a"
Answer: A
