A train 200~\text{m} long passes a platform 100~\text{m} long in 10~\text{seconds}. What is the speed of the train?

  1. A. 40~\text{m/s}
  2. B. 30~\text{m/s}
  3. C. 25~\text{m/s}
  4. D. 20~\text{m/s}

Correct Answer: B. 30~\text{m/s}

Explanation

The total distance covered to cross the platform is Length of train + Length of platform = 200 + 100 = 300~\text{m}. Speed = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{300}{10} = 30~\text{m/s}.
