A train speeds past a pole in 15 seconds and a platform 100 m long in 25seconds. Its length is: A. 50 m B. 150 m C. 200 m D. Data inadequate Answer Workspace Report Discuss Answer with explanation Answer: Option B Explanation Let the length of the train be x metres and its speed be y m/sec. Then, (x/y)= 15 y =(x/15) (x+100)/25 = x/15 => 15(x + 100) = 25x => 15x + 1500 = 25x => 1500 = 10x => x = 150 m. Workspace
