    How many seconds will a train 120 m long running at the rate of 36 km/h take to cross a bridge of 360 m in length?  
    [SSC (CPO) 2015]

    A) 40 s                             

    B) 48 s

    C) 36 s                             

    D) 46 s

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Speed of train
    \[=36\,km/h=36\times \frac{5}{18}=10\,m/s\]
    Total distance covered by train
                \[=120+360=480\,m\]
    \[\therefore \] Time taken by train to cross the bridge
                \[=\frac{\text{Total}\,\text{distance}}{\text{Speed}}\,\,=\frac{480}{10}=48\,s\]
