A meters long train crosses a tunnel of length meters in seconds. Find the time for the train to cross a man standing on a platform of length meters.

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Step 1: Find the speed of the train
When a train crosses a tunnel, the total distance traveled is equal to the sum of the length of the train and the length of the tunnel.





Step 2: Find the time taken to cross a man standing on the platform
When the train crosses a man standing on a platform, the distance traveled is equal to the length of the train itself (the length of the platform is irrelevant here because the object being crossed is a stationary man, not the platform).
