Q18 (CISF/2022) Science & Technology › Basic Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology)

A train of 150 m length crosses a milestone in 10 seconds. Another train with the same speed crosses the milestone in 12 seconds. What is the length of the second train ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A

Explanation

To find the length of the second train, we first calculate the speed of the first train. When a train crosses a milestone, the distance covered is exactly equal to the length of the train.

  • Speed of the first train: Speed = Distance / Time = 150 m / 10 s = 15 m/s.
  • Speed of the second train: The problem states it has the same speed, so its speed is also 15 m/s.
  • Length of the second train: Distance (Length) = Speed × Time = 15 m/s × 12 s = 180 m.

Therefore, the length of the second train is 180 m, making option A the correct answer.
