A train of length 110 m is moving at a uniform speed of 132 \text{ km/hr}. The time required to cross a bridge of length 165 m is

  1. A. 6.5 seconds
  2. B. 7 seconds
  3. C. 7.5 seconds
  4. D. 8.5 seconds

Correct Answer: C. 7.5 seconds

Explanation

Total distance = 110 + 165 = 275 \text{ m}. Speed = 132 \text{ km/hr} = 132 \times \frac{5}{18} = \frac{110}{3} \text{ m/s}. Time = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} = \frac{275}{\frac{110}{3}} = \frac{825}{110} = 7.5 \text{ seconds}.
