Give a quick stream of consciousness before answering the following question. A train 460 m long is running at a speed of 45 km/hr. In what time will it pass a bridge 140 m long?
Options:
(A) 40
(B) 87
(C) 48
(D) 21
(E) 14
Speed = 45 * 5/18 = 25/2 m/sec
Total distance covered = 460 + 140 = 600 m
Required time = 600 * 2/25 = 48 se
The answer: (C).
