Madhya Pradesh Police Exam Model Paper 6

Given:
Length of train = 500 m
Length of platform = 1300 m
Speed of train $=216\mathit{k}\mathit{m}/\mathit{h}\mathit{r}=216\times \left(5/18\right)\mathit{m}/\mathit{s}$
⇒ 60 m/s
Formula used:
Time taken = Total distance to be covered/Speed of train
Calculation:
Total distance to be covered $=\left(500+1300\right)\mathit{m}$
⇒ 1800 m
Time taken to cross the platform $=1800/60$ seconds
⇒ 30 seconds
∴ The time taken to cross the platform is 30 seconds
